This is a relatively off the cuff response.  But I think such a module 
should provide python classes for the POV types.  Then, instead of
using the POV scene description language, you would use Python.  You
could algorithmicly create a scene or animation sequence.  Then you
would pass the data structure (a list or other sequence) to a Python
function that renders it in POV scene description language for POV to
digest and render.

Another thing I would like to see is a module for generating RIB
files.  In fact, a Python RenderMan module would be quite nice,
complete with shading language support.  Anything out there like that?
