I don't know about python, but you can use mutil to post messages to any base you like.

[ --- begin weather.ini --- ]
[General]
        PostTextFiles = true
        logfile = mutil.log
        logcache = true
        loglevel = 2
        logtype = 1
        maxlogfiles = 3
        maxlogsize = 1000

[PostTextFiles]
        totalfiles = 3

        file1_name    = /tmp/weather.txt
        file1_baseidx = 29
        file1_from    = Northern Realms
        file1_to      = All
        file1_subj    = Southern Ontario Weather
        file1_addr    = 21:3/110
        file1_delfile = false
[...]
[ --- end weather.ini --- ]

In this example I use a script to fetch the weather and put it into a text file (/tmp/weather.txt).  The baseidx is the index number of the message base you want to post to.  Fill out the other details and then just run ./mutil weather.ini and your message is posted.
