From external, you can use XMLRPC calls, with the user data of a user 
having the rights to add other users, e.g. admin.

http://doc.openerp.com/v6.0/developer/6_22_XML-RPC_web_services/index.html

Please be aware of security issues here, and use secure XMLRPC or at 
least local communication only for example.

You may find examples (Create a partner and his address) on the webpage 
above.
There are also examples on different languages than Python.

Please note: OpenERP is kind of stateless. The login(dbname, username, 
password) only "converts" the username into a system uid.

Regards,
Marco
