My bad, I forgot to lowercase the subroutine names in my Python  
script. Internally, AppleScript lowercases subroutine names unless  
they're written within pipes, e.g. 'FooBar' should be called as  
'foobar', '|FooBar|' as 'FooBar'. So the correct code should be:

playRec = Applet.initwithname('playRec')
playRec.callsub('initreclist', False)
recList = playRec.callsub('listrecdict')
