What more specifically are you uncertain about?

I have no plans to rewirte Boxer in Python (I see no benefit in that), 
but next major release will hopefully change (or extend) to handle data 
expressed not in custom YAML but in standards-based RDF.  I would be 
quite happy to get help in tackling that, if interested.
