play a song from within a playlist?

Is there any easy way to script the itunes plugin play a song from within an itunes playlist (preferably a random song from within a playlist)?
I am trying to convert over my AppleScripts to python due to the impending loss of AppleScript support. However, one of my favorite Indigo controlled things (a custom chiming grandfather clock with LOTS of different chimes) is heavily dependent on AppleScript. In particular, during most holidays it pulls a random track from a playlist for that holiday.
I think by rewriting the script in Python, I can actually improve upon my old AppleScript version by quite a bit, but first I need to see if this core functionality is possible.
