It depends on the level of integration that you want. If you want to
support <script> elements and event handlers, then you will have to
get into WebCore.

Brett,
While the WebKit framework requires the JavaScriptCore framework to
build, WebKit is not tied to JavaScript as language in any
particularly strong way. I don't think it would be too difficult to
make a Python-enabled prototype by adding new hooks inside the engine.
That said, I seem to remember that a contributor already added
Python support to DumpRenderTree, our test harness for WebKit,
using PyObjC. WebKit's ObjC bindings make this kind of addition
pretty painless. I think you'll find this approach far easier than
hacking inside any browser engine, since it allows you to avoid the
engine guts entirely, and use only public, documented API.
Cheers.

My name is Brett Cannon and I am currently a Ph.D. student
attending the University of British Columbia. I am starting work
on a dissertation that involves making the Python programming
language secure and using the use of Python as a client-side web
scripting language as the case-study. I was originally planning
on using Firefox as the browser to embed into, but then I
remembered that WebKit was an option for me.
But I have no clue how difficult it would be to add another client-
side scripting language to WebKit. Does anyone know how difficult
this would be? Is most stuff so completely geared towards
JavaScript that adding another language would be a huge
undertaking? Or is the abstraction at the right level that this
would be feasible with a modest amount of work?
Thanks for any help.
