It sounds like you just want to add a Prolog-esque
inference engine. Certainly you'd be concerned about
performance; I think inference engines need to try lots
of different possibilities to see which match the
specified conditions. This cries out not for a change
in Python, but a C module. Perhaps it could be cobbled
together out of some existing Prolog implementation.
