At this point, it's very old and not in use, but I once worked on a project that would wrap the `wg` command in python.
If helpful, I posted it here: https://gist.github.com/rwhelan/f46d1f6f07df71f1bd1786eda447b97f I don't think its feature complete as it was only used internally for a project that took another direction. But in case it's helpful...
