I've been telling people that python is perl with a sane syntax (ducks 
for cover ;-).

A quick google for "python call perl" indicates that it should work to 
migrate perl code to python incrementally, calling the existing perl 
functions and libraries until (if) the function/library gets migrated to 
python.
<http://www.google.com/search?q=python+call+perl&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a>

A quick scan makes these look like good starting points:
   <http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/pyperl-1.0/perlmodule.pod>
   <http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPerl>

I would love to tackle this to help my knowledge of koha, perl, and 
because I like python better than perl, but I'm overcommited on 
volunteer projects already. :-(

Best regards,
