It is called OSA. AppleScript is it most well known implementation.
It is available in two forms, direct AppleScript in Python or an OSAm module.
Have a look to this recent annoucement:
======================================
Written quickly and only tested a bit, so there are probably bugs.
Seems to work ok, though.
One caveat: OSATools uses pipes to talk to osascript and friends. In
other words, it won't work with MacPython just yet, you need a Unix
python.
Anyone who is interested can get it here:
