Python is a bit nicer than Perl, but if you implement your voting method
in Perl, you can plug it into CIVS. Then people can and will start using
it for real polls.
For the software see:

There sure are many programmers on this list as you can guess also from the
latest mails. Many of them have lots of voting related software. I don't know
what languages people use, but Python certainly is a good general purpose tool.
So maybe there is some interest in open libraries in this area.
On this list there have been huge number of new proposed methods. Often it
would make sense to have also running versions of them. Such programs would
serve also as (exact) operational definitions of the methods. Let's see what
people think about the ability to exchange also code in addition to text.

Hey folks,
Not sure if there are programmers on the list (I'm new to it as of
last week), but I thought I'd share just in case.
I've pushed out an early release of a pure-Python voting methodologies
library. Here's the announcement:
https://launchpad.net/ballotbox/+announcements
As the announcement states, it's only a partial set. The blurb also
has links to PyPI, docs, download, and bug reporting.
My interest in this started as a result of experimenting with
self-organizing networked objects, and the need to elect a peer as a
proxy in unreliable/hostile environments. Having dived into election
methods, though, I've found it immensely fascinating... my efforts on
this library have become a labor of fun and love :-)
Bug reports deeply welcome, by the way!
Thanks,
