Good news!
I asked a buddy that runs osx, and he whipped up a script for you :)
I understand it's not python, but it gets you close, you should be able
to use popen or subprocess.call to complete this.
function is_charger_plugged_in()
{
sleep 3;
BATTINFO=`ioreg -l -w 0 | grep IO

In general it's not so simple, since a computer can have many power
sources.

Oops -- just asked a buddy, osx doesn't have /proc
But you could look into sysctl
I'll boot up my laptop and check out if there is anything regarding the
battery, but I suspect you should investigate
sysctl -a | grep acpi

I'm not sure about osx, but I know linux uses a proc virtual
filesystem. ( freebsd is probably closer, and it doesn't either but you
can mount it via mount_linprocfs none /proc)
But if you know if you have a proc file system, you can check it to see
if you are under power...
IE if I remember righ
