There is currently debsnap and manually interacting with the API using
curl/wget.

This has a couple of features that are not in debsnap yet.
BTW, some Python coding tips:
Please do not use os.system. Instead use the subprocess module without
using shell=True.
Also don't use su as you have to pass it a shell script rather than a
list of arguments. Instead use sudo.
Don't hard-code things that are likely to change (DEBIAN_PORTS for example).

I am not aware of anything other than debsnap and what you wrote.
