git gui works on OSX.
Aside from that, someone's already written one* :-)

Fork/exec.
If you grabbed the ugit modules you could say:
from ugit import git
revisions = git.rev_list(all=True).splitlines()
file = open('msg', 'w')
file.write("commit message." )
file.close()
git.commit(F='msg', s=True)
etc, etc.
It's pretty much 90%+ of git wrapped in Python.
If a libgit.so did appear one day it would be trivial to swap out the
meta-functions in
git.py and replace them with e.g. swig replacements. Until then,
forking out works
just fine.
stg also has Python wrapped around git so you could look there too.
