I'm guessing I'd need to install Python but is there are other impediments I know XBMC on XP isn't supported anymore but the software still runs fine so I've no reason to give it the arse.
Just install Python 2.7.3 (or 3.x), and it should work fine.
You don't need XBMC installed to run the script, and you can configure the script to control remote XBMC clients (with some limitations where direct file system access is concerned, mainly Xd/r/R) using the xbmc.host property. You could also use one of your Linux boxes to run the script which then connects to XBMC on your XP client - no need to install Python on Windows at all.
