Do you have a static list of addresses or will it be constantly changing? If it's static, try uploading your data to Google Fusion Tables or GeoCommons. You may find that will accomplish most of what you want. Fusion Tables can even be setup for changing lists. Both solutions will do the geocoding and let you play around with finding your subsets of data and even embed the maps in web content. GeoCommons has much better cartographic design.
I don't think you need to be writing python code to do this. -Eric -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.
