If nothing else you could trigger a perl script from within Python - for
example on *nix you could make an os.system call. As to the Mac, I started
using python because I was using AppleScript to do some workflow automation
and decided that if I could just write this one little section in Python it
would be sooo much easier, and succesfully integrated a littled bit of
Python by launching the script (tell the finder to open it and it runs). So
it should be possible to do some stuff.

good luck,
