Are you aware of Simon's Rserve project at http://www.rosuda.org/Rserve/ ?
It already has Java and C++ client code -- it would be nice if you could
add Python client code to this project.  It is not multithreaded [ as R's
core isn't, this isn't easily achievable ] but allows several properly
separated connections at the same time [ when running on Linux/Unix ].
