   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.
