import louis

tables=["unicode.dis", "en-us-g2.ctb"]

louis.translateString(tables, "This is a test.")

Substitute your preferred translation table for en-us-g2.ctb (they're in /usr/share/liblouis/tables), and you'll need to be in uncontracted mode to check the output, which is in Unicode braille (0x2800-0x28ff).

I don't know whether you need any additional table files other than the main table in order to get correct Cyrillic translation. The input string should be UTF-8.
