Hi,

It depends on what you mean by integrating.

If you mean reading OWL files generated by Protégé, there are some 
Python libraries out there though I never tested any:
http://eulersharp.sourceforge.net/2004/02swap/OWLLogic/owllogic.html
http://seth-scripting.sourceforge.net/

I must warn you, the OWL written by Protégé isn't quite straightforward 
to parse. Anyway RDFLib seems to be the canonical library for parsing 
and processing RDF/RDFS.


If your goal is to develop plugins in Python. Well... I expect that any 
solution is based on Jython. A quick googling gave me JOT which is more 
like a scripting console for Protégé:
