Check out PyFacebook which has a tutorial, from... Facebook!
Blatantly ripped from the documentation on that page and untested, you'd probably do something like this:
import facebook
fb = facebook.Facebook('YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY')
fb.auth.createToken()
fb.login()
fb.auth.getSession()
fb.set_status('Checking out StackOverFlow.com')

Well, in my case fb object doesn't have set_status method. Why is that? Can you please throw some light on this? – aatifh Dec 15 '09 at 11:43

If your Facebook object doesn’t have a `set_status` method, open another question asking about it. – Paul D. Waite Sep 21 '10 at 17:07

The Facebook Developers site for Python is a great place to start. You should be able to accomplish this with a REST call.
