Python is fully supported in batch scripting. The limitation on the wiki is outdated and will be removed.
E.g.
xsi -script foo.py -main foo -args -arg "bar"
Foo.py...
def foo( arg ):
Application.LogMessage( "from foo " + str( arg ) )
-mab

The script must have a main() function with arguments. Like def main(start , end , step , scene , passes ):
And you call it with
xsibatch -script test.py -main main -args -start 1 -end 100 -step 1 -scene C:/test.scn -passes foreground,background
