I don't know what stage it's in, but PyProlog seeks to *embed* a Prolog
interpreter into Python:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyprolog/

Although unrelated to Python, Schelog is a blending of Scheme and Prolog.
You might find some useful info on their sight:

Note to Danny: apparently embedding Schelog relied heavily on call/cc and
continuations (ouch!) *grin*
