It's technically possible, but nobody has done it.  It's not exactly 
easy, as you would need to embed python in a COM-like plugin (written 
in C, Obj C or C++) that finder loads at runtime.  There will probably 
be some tricky issues with threads and sub interpreters.  I've 
considered doing it myself (for at least two years), but I haven't 
gotten around to it.
