The answer is "Sort of" or "Not really" depending on how you define "in python".
http://microsoftgadgets.com/Sidebar/DevelopmentOverview.aspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508513.aspx are the apropos pieces of documentation. You can call a python program via the System.Shell.execute function in your sidebar script, and have it change the html files (or better yet, an xml file) that the toolbar app uses. After it completes, you update the UI via reloading the XML file. It's not the least roundabout way to do something I've ever seen, but it looks possible. --Michael PS: I've had notes on this for awhile, but haven't had the time to try. If it works, let me know.
