Later this year I will be committing a port of the ctypes module for EDK II
Python. The built-in edk2 module will also be extended to provide a pointer to
the SystemTable which can then be used with the ctypes module to access any of
the Boot or Runtime Services as well as loading protocols and accessing their
member functions and data.
I hope to follow that with some pure Python code that allows direct access to
UEFI functionality without the user having to know how to use ctypes. This is
not on the official plan but is just something I would like to do so I can't
give a definite schedule for it.
Things that are queued up (in no particular order) are:
* command-line switch to force stderr to stdout, similar to 2>&1
redirection.
* ctypes for IA32 and X64
* threading
* 4Suite-XML
* cDeepCopy
* zope interface
* UEFI wrappers for ctypes

The ability to call BootTime Services from Python is powerful, thanks.
(Won't this enable new CHIPSEC test modules?!)
Can you give us any other hints of upcoming python.efi features??
Thanks,
