What are you using?

Decent and unexpensive IR systems aren't very common. Maybe MySQL is enough
(they now have full text indexing).  You may consider:

a) http://www.lextek.com/onix/ (never used it)
b) http://200.6.42.16:2001/p_isis_dll.html (In portuguese, though the manuals
are in English). Used to be very unreliable but apparently it has improved.
c) Altavista's sdk.

Whatever you use, you will probably have to write the Python interface. 
If I was in your situation I  would write a Python interface to the mg system
that someone already recommended to you...
