Hi, don't consider my answer definitive, but I believe there is. I was
looking at the inkscape export to xcf feature and it is apparently a
python script that controls gimp. Unfortunately it's not pure python,
it looks like it's a python script that launches gimp and feeds in
some of gimp's own scripting language (scheme?), but none the less
it's about what you're asking and the code is readily available.
