There are both.

See tracker-tag (in src/tracker-utils/) to do tagging on the command 
line. We also have plenty of python scripts in the 
tests/functional-tests/ directory which you can use to help you get on. 
There is also an example RSS reader which uses Python in examples/.

We use D-Bus or libtracker-client (which wraps the D-Bus API). So in 
Python it is quite easy to just use the D-Bus. The above examples do 
just that.
