A better solution for controlling noatun would be dcop. Every KDE app has a 
dcop interface which can be accessed which the dcop programm. Run kdcop to 
get a list of functions you can access for noatun. Play, pause, skip, jum etc 
are all supported. From a quick look I can say that you can change the 
playlist, too. Somewhere on the web is a tutorial for using dcop.
In python you would spawn a dcop-process with the needed parameters. That's 
all.
