Yes. Appscript isn't quite finished yet, but it's getting close. 
Here's the equivalent deletion script [1]:

     from appscript import *

     app('iPhoto.app').photo_library_album.photos.test(
             (its.width < 200) .OR (its.height < 200)
             ).remove()


There's some sample scripts on my site and bundled with appscript 
itself, and I'll release more as I write them.

[1] Brian's original Perl script makes the classic faux-pas of 
laboriously iterating where a filter reference would do. See past 
posts from me regarding application object references, pointing out 
that they're actually queries and not conventional OO object 
references as many folks assume.
