I think a key aspect of something like this is the question of whether
the good people at Dice are willing to come forward with their
documentation or if the community is going to be forced to reverse
engineer what we need.  After all, wasn't the concept behind
incorporating Python into the game engine directly aimed at the modding
community?  It would seem contra-rational to embark on such a mission
only to withhold the very documentation required to make full use of the
tools created.
