My turn...
Aaron Swartz and I have been working on the beginnings of an RDF API
written in Python, and we have written a query component (Gofyniad).
It's a simple query engine, viz. it takes triples out of the store
once it has matched them.

(1.1)
You'll need RDF API to run it (which is only about 2KB):-

(1.4)
and we have an NTriples parser as well:-

Bijan Parsia gave a critique of the Query engine on RDF IG:-
http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2001-10-30.txt
To make it run:-
python query.py input.nt query.nt > out.nt
The query format is actually an extended NTriples, with ?x, ?y etc.
being universally quantified variables. Example query:-
input.nt:-
[[[
<#Sean> <#likes> <#TheSimpsons> .
<#Sean> <#likes> <#SemanticWeb> .
<#Sean> <#name> "Sean" .
]]]
query.nt:-
[[[
<#Sean> <#likes> ?x .
]]]
out.nt:-
[[[
@prefix : <tag:infomesh.net,2001-08-07:> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2001/01/rdf-schema#> .
:Result rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Resource .
{
<rdfapi.Node instance at 007CA9BC> = #TheSimpsons .
} a :Result .
<#Sean> <#likes> <#TheSimpsons> .
{
<rdfapi.Node instance at 007CA82C> = #SemanticWeb .
} a :Result .
<#Sean> <#likes> <#SemanticWeb> .
]]]
as you can tell, we need to tweak the output function a little bit,
but the meat of the thing is done.
Cheers,
