There are Python - OO links. I've never used them 
but a Google search will throw them up I'm sure.
But the easiest way is probably either to export 
the data as a CSV file and use the csv module or 
to put the data in a database and use OO or 
Python to access the databae directly. The latter 
approach is better if you have a large number 
of records or if there are many relationships 
in your data.
