Interesting... Are you using SWIG to wrap the C++? Would you have to actually compile something to use a message in Python (god forbid)?
Thinking about it a bit, I guess you'd just SWIG the static (non- generated) interfaces and the Python classes would all operate exclusively through reflection, such that any Python operation (or "class definition") would just call various DescriptorPool and Reflection methods to perform all operations... ? If so, that changes a lot of things for us, but possibly 90% for the better...
