If you don't want to implement a kdl generator from urdf for python I think you could reuse the code from http://ros.org/wiki/kdl_parser. Rapid development alternatives: - make a simple node with a service:

 string path
 ---
 string urdf

• using python ctypes for python and the library libkdl_parser.so
• make a proper wrapper of libkdl_parser.so for python
