For what you describe using the mail gateway may be the easiest.  The
other thing to look at would be the xmlrpc interface.  You can only use
roundup-admin if the script runs on the roundup machine and has
permission...it sounds like it could in your case, in which case that
would also be a fine way to go.  Finally, if your python script is
running on the roundup server you *could* talk to roundup directly in
python It really just depends on what you are most interested in
writing, and whether or not you want the script to be *able* to work if
it can't have access to the roundup server (ie: if you are planning
on sharing it and want to support that mode of operation.)

I don't think there's an obvious "best answer" here.
