You could download pkipplib from http://www.pykota.com/software/

This is a pure Python implementation of an IPP client library,
it is currently incomplete but includes a sample notifier application
and more importantly a generic tool to manage subscriptions.conf
from the command line, named 'pksubscribe', which help follows :
