The Medusa license is also the Python license, so no problem there.

It's not clear if importing a GPLed Python module in your code means that
your code has to be GPLed.  My interpretation would be "no", but you'd have
to ask the copyright holder of the GPLed code to figure out if a given usage
is OK with them.
