That sounds very good indeeed.
On the bottom of this page http://userbase.kde.org/Kig/FAQ is mentioned how to 
use a Python script which leads to Kig API doc.
Instead it could point to a new page explaining scripting in Python.
As for the existing examples, you can upload them to kde-files: you can add a 
kig folder here 
http://files.kde.org/edu/
and a /python subdir for example. Upload the files before the CodeIn task so 
the student can find them.

The Google CodeIn task would be to create a userbase page, something like 
http://userbase.kde.org/Kig/PythonScripting
explaining the aim of python scripting in Kig, explaining each lines of an 
existing script and giving clues on extending it. It could also explain 
briefly the other scripts (please amend as you feel)
Pre-requisites are Kig and Python knowledge, wiki syntax knowledge and a 
userbase account.
