This would be most excellent from my POV.  For personal use, I've
written a Python Bible search and extraction utility that makes use of
exported Bible Works databases.  (I'm no longer running Windows.)
I'm currently extending it with a module that knows the date of Easter
for any given year and will serve up Church year data like lectionary
readings for any given Sunday/festival, etc.  A Python API to Sword
would allow me to plug the lectionary module into Sword to make an
extremely useful and easily redistributable Church Year tool.

I'm partial to Python because it fits the extremely limited and
irregular time slots I have for programming.  I've been meaning to use
some of that time for work on Gnome Sword, but it's harder to fit into
my schedule.
