There are interfaces for Perl and Tcl there. Alas, no Python one.
OTOH, the other day I tried to construct a Python RFC interface using SWIG
(on Linux). It run, but was hardly usable as the parameter passing 
conventions in Python and SDK are highly incompatible, so some bits
of additional C/C++ code are needed. But I guess that a week of work 
should do to get something usable (provided one knows the RFC SDK)

YMMV. RTFM, of course, but sometimes when you RTFM, you just don't FTFA.
