libpolkit-gobject-1 is the client library which applications and services use to query polkit actions and request authorisation. It’s not the authority backend implementation which makes the authorisation decisions. Currently, to the best of my knowledge, it’s not possible to write polkit rules in Python. The manual you’re reading is essentially saying that it’s possible for a Python program to query polkit about authorisation for an action. Philip
