I can add that SWIG may be useful for this task.

So which of gnubg's function would you be most interested in?

It will require quite some rewrite in order to make a standalone gnubg
python module, so all scripts must be executed through gnubg, e.g., by

gnubg -some-new-option myscript

Will this pose any problems?

Yes, it's already protected by USE_GUILE. USE_GUILE is set if you have
guile version 1.6 or newer.

If there is interest in python I can add autoconf magic for detecting
python and commit my code so far. I still need to figure out how to get
the GUI updated while running the python interpreter...
