UV/Texture Mapping in Python

Question

I have on quick question. I want to know if it is possible to perform UV/Texture mapping within python. I know I would probably need to import a module or two. But I haven't too many examples of how to perform UV/texture mapping in python.
If it possible could someone post up an example. Ultimately what I want to do is to import a 3D model that was created in a 3D program (say blender or 3D max) then I need to apply data to the surface of this 3D model. The data would be in the form of a matrix or array. I know UV/Texture mapping can help make this process easier that is why I am curious about do this.
