I don't think there are any plans to move SPM to python, but there's a
project to write neuroimaging tools and utilities in python that I'm
involved in:
http://neuroimaging.scipy.org/
Jonathan Taylor is the main developer, and the current code started as
a port of Keith Worsley's BrainSTAT to python.
In the medium term, we intend to provide python wrappers to many
tools, such as SPM, FSL, AFNI, VoxBo, so that people can mix routines
within the same analysis environment, as well as having a full set of
development utilities.
Best,
Matthew
