You mean the 2011 season? See the second FAQ (http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/wiki/do...botpy/wiki/Faq) for the full answer (and a caveat emptor warning). Basically I can't say as I'm not the GDC and can't predict future rules, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be legal according to the 2010 rules. Python itself is available to all teams and thus should be considered COTS code, and to the robot it looks like a C++ program that reads text files.

With regards to the image recognition suite (WPILib Vision library), there's currently no wrappers but it should a straightforward project for an enterprising person who wants to learn a bit about SWIG (see Packages\wpilib\wpilib.i in the source tree).
