This might be going the opposite direction, but I worked on a way to make
it easier to digest the output of Python in elisp, in these two posts:
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/05/16/Python-data-structures-to-lisp/
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/05/30/Writing-lisp-code-from-Python/
These days I would probably try serializing via json. it is easy to read
and write in most languages.
