You probably already know about the amateur radio support within the 
linux world. If not, then check this out:

  http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/hamlib/index.php?title=Main_Page

Note that hamlib has, in their words, "Language bindings are provided 
for C, C++, Perl, Python, and TCL.

There's this ICOM tool:

and several others:

If you like operating using digital modes, there's fldigi, which seems 
pretty well done to me.
