Fortunately it has a pretty good REST API, and I can get all the data imported into it by calling that from Python. Similarly, having a good REST API would provide a path for developers to get data into Plone even if Python isn't their preferred language. It would also provide a path for data to get updated in Plone in response to some event happening in some different system on another server.
