I worked with Google on the text of the "additional IP rights grant". IMO if you implement the algorithms as Google did, and your python implementation is somehow a derivative work of their C version, you're covered under the "additional IP rights grant", the patent license to the Open Source code. And you're covered by the bitstream license for patent claims that are "necessarily infringed" by your own implementation even if it's not a derivative work of the C code.
