Hi,
You could use something like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from pydcop import *

#This will create a pointer (as it were) to the dcop object
desktop = DCOPApplication("kwin")

#You can then perform all the actions that you can on the command line
currentDesktop = desktop.KWinInterface.currentDesktop()

HTH,
Scott
