Yes, it's XPCOM (cross platform component object model), and there are
Python bindings for it (PyXPCOM).

The source code has been moved into the Mozilla tree, but you must
compile Mozilla yourself, and explicitly ask for the PyXPCOM
extensions to be compiled in.

ActiveState's Komodo IDE for Python/Perl/etc. was built using Python,
Mozilla and PyXPCOM.
