I really don't see the need to cross post to the osgeo list. Howard is right on the mark in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.osgeo.discuss/3029 A GeoTools-ish library or framework for Python is a non-starter today. Instead, we need to focus on simple interfaces like (as Howard pointed out) the Numpy array interface and the Python geo interface. For geoprocessing, we might want to consider something like WSGI, and make chains of little apps.
