orbitdb is a distributed database built on IPFS - looks like they have a python http client: https://github.com/orbitdb/py-orbit-db-http-client

the py-ipfs-http-client library is also actively maintained (but I think needs some small changes to work with IPFS 0.5): https://github .com/ipfs-shipyard/py-ipfs-http-client/
