First off, let me say this is VERY Alpha code so far :) But if you want to do some python scripting in World Wind (sorry, I have no examples myself of how this is useful.. But I know it is from the talk in the #worldwind and #osgeo irc channels. :)

But if you have some ideas for scripting in World Wind, check out this plug-in that is in development.

Update: What_nick has some more information and an example in his blog.
