You're on the right list of this, PyObjC is specificly designed for  
this task.

Possibly, but using PyObjC would be better.

Yes to both, but that's not really necessary. Both PyObjC 1.x and  
PyObjC 2.x (shipping with Leopard) have tools to automaticly create a  
python wrapper from header files. Those are a bit tuned to the way  
Apple writes headers, but with some luck work with the WiiRemote  
headers as well.
