Monarch, like Borg, is configured by RPC. You can use python if that suits you but you can also use C++ or Java or Go or any language capable of putting an encoded protobuf on the wire. This is a mistake people also make about Borg: there is borgcfg but borgcfg is not Borg's API. You can use the Borg RPC interface from any language and borgcfg is optional. Compare to borgmon where use of the DSL is obligatory.
