I released my code as an open source project, on Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/mysql-proxy-python/. This is my first open source project. I don't know if I did something wrong.

We actually plan as part of MySQL Proxy 0.9 to make the scripting support pluggable. 

The main goal is:
* remove the global plugin hook lock
* allow C-only plugins for the proxy plugin
* allow other scripting languages to be used

Python was one of the candidates to be added. Nice that you already gave it a start.
