Sure. (Actually, I have been thinking of implementing a simple Prolog
kernel *in* Python... But that might be far into the future... :) You
could either wrap the Prolog kernel with swig (a tool for interfacing
between c-programs/modules and scripting languages) or you could check
out pyexpect which lets you interact with command-line programs (like
a Prolog interpreter) programmatically.
