As Bart pointed out, I've written a simple extension on OpenLayers that 
does just this. The tough part is to figure out what resolutions and 
bounding boxes you need. There's no python involved, why do you think it 
should have been?

I wrote a layer-subclass. I just did wrote it as a proof-of-concept but 
no one seemed to be interested in it, so I haven't done anything else 
with it. But if you want it you're welcome to sue it and if you need 
help, I'm happy to provide it as far as I can.
