Well, that didn't take very long. Someone has thrown together a python module for accessing your Gmail account. Haven't seen any other information other than what was posted to the Python list. It's pretty basic - asks for login info, returns a list of folders, prints the content of *all* messages in a selected folder. Mostly proof of concept at this point - it's essentially a web client that takes the place of the browser. Still, pretty nifty. It's a testament to the ease of use and power of Python that something like this can be done in ~250 lines...
