Ok, so your query isn't so much with accessing the event log as
with writing Python code at all. If you haven't already, could I suggest
the Python tutorial here:

  http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/

or, if that one doesn't suit, just search for "Python tutorial" to find
something which fits your brain.

Feel free to post back here with questions once you've got started.
