pyKML   is an open source Python library for generating, parsing, and modifying   KML , the geo-spatial data language used by Google Earth, Google Maps and a number of other GIS platforms. pyKML helps working with large and complex KML documents by leveraging the use of basic programming constructs (looping, branching, etc.). In this regard pyKML is similar to   libkml , Google’s open source C++ library, but takes advantage of the highly readable syntax of the   Python   programming language and the processing capabilities of the popular   lxml   Python library. pyKML v0.1.0 documentation :  http://packages.python.org/pykml/ Source: Google Geo Developers Blog
