I can recommend reading "Elements of Modern X-ray Physics" by Jens Als-Nielsen and Des McMorrow. http://ntserv.fys.ku.dk/XBook/. IIRC the book includes matlab code for reflection from multilayers (which you can download from their website). I didn't find it too difficult to convert some of the other code in the book to work with matplotlib (python), but havn't converted this example.
An excellent text. I just used it for a graduate course last term. Unfortunately it is out of print and you might have to look for it on amazon.com or something equivalent. In fact, I converted some of the reflectivity codes to python for my class and would be happy to share them. The problem is that these are not really fitting programs, just simulations.
