If what you're executing is not something huge, doesn't require (m)any
external dependencies, and doesn't have user interaction, you can try to
(ab)use Scribunto's console AJAX interface:
$ cat lua.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import requests
import sys
print requests.post(sys.argv[1], params={
'format': 'json',
'action': 'scribunto-console',
'title': '-',
'question': sys.stdin.read(),
}).json()['print']
$ cat demo.lua
language="en"
label=mw.wikibase.label("Q42")
print(label)
$ ./lua.py https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php < demo.lua
Douglas Adams
