Any OAI tools available in Python?

[tone]

Hi all,
We're getting involved in some work using OAI records from the
openarchives initiative at http://www.openarchives.org/

At first glance (ie google, searching this mailing list, the OAI site and
the PyXML distribution) there doesn't seem to be any work being done in
OAI using Python. Lots of Perl, not a lot of python.

Is this really the case?  We use Zope almost exclusively and don't want
to spend any time on the Perl option if we can avoid it at all.

Does anyone know any better?

many thankstone.
