It looks like you are looking for an object serialization library. I
suggest you to try XStream.

http://xstream.codehaus.org/

It is a popular Java library for object serialization. It shouldn't be
hard to write a converter for Python objects. I think you should be
able to write the converter in Python itself.

This page has couple of example of installing custom converters.
