I don't know anything about python but here are the bash-scripts I use
to render my sig:
m8ram linux:~> cat bin/sig-linux
#!/bin/bash
/home/m8ram/bin/sig-general "<bram-mertens linux be>"

m8ram linux:~> cat bin/sig-general
#!/bin/bash
current_uptime=$(uptime)
current_kernel=$(uname -r)
current_machine=$(uname -m)
current_release="SuSE 8.2 Pro"
mem="128MB"
NAME="Mertens Bram \"M8ram\""
EMAIL=$1
LINUXID="Linux User #249103"

printf "<pre>-- \n"
printf "# %-22s %-29s %22s #\n" "$NAME" "$EMAIL" "$LINUXID"
printf "# %-16s kernel %-15s %-6s %18s RAM #\n" "$current_release" "$current_kernel" "$current_machine" "$mem"
printf "#%70s #\n" "$current_uptime"
printf "</pre>\n"

I use two scripts because I call the sig-general script from another
script as well to create different sigs and because AFAIK it still isn't
possible to call a script with an argument yet from within Evo.

Perhaps you can call your python script inside such a bash script?
