If you're after mature and actively developed Genealogy software
developed in Python, then check out http://gramps-project.org/
The developer list is very friendly.

Otherwise, you're in for a struggle, as you need to choose a storage
back-end, a GUI (wxWindows/GTK/Qt4 etc...), how to handle GEDCOM
format (unless it's not going to be compatible with other software),
does it need to produce web pages/reports (and in what formats).

I strongly suggest looking at GRAMPS and see what you're setting
yourself up for :)
