I'd say more difficult, but not non-useable.

There are ways to call Perl from Python with pyperl:

   http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/pyperl-1.0/perlmodule.pod

And there's a binding between dbus and Perl:
  
   http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-DBus/

I grant you that I have not tried these modules so I don't know if
they are easy to use.

If you don't fancy embedding a perl interpreter, you can also use the
STDIN/STDOUT interface of Config::Model:

   http://search.cpan.org/dist/Config-Model/lib/Config/Model/SimpleUI.pm
