Folks,
Mark Showalter, manager of the PDS Rings Node, has also developed a Python
interface and is apparently willing to share it with others. (NAIF has
not tried it.)
As to NAIF's making (finishing) an official, supported Python interface,
this is not a current activity due to numerous more pressing matters.
