In order to see what Applescript commands any application supports, then you need to look at the Dictionary for the application. From my answer to a similar question posted just the other day:

To get to an application's Dictionary in the the Applescript Editor go to File > Open Dictionary.... A list of all the applications that the OS knows supports Applescript will appear, but the OS won't catch them all so you can use the Browse button. If an application doesn't support Applescript, then it won't be selectable in the dialog window.

The caveat to this is that there are certain commands that an application is supposed to support but don't, or an application may only support the minimum requirements. These are all very, very simple like open, quit, etc. Your mileage may vary.

Information to start with GUI scripting can be found on the OS X Automation site. GUI Scripting is a funky way to go, and I don't think you can get the values of onscreen controls, instead only set them. You should only do this if no other avenue works.

If you wish to stick with Python, then you can look at the py-appscript project, but this is still dependent on Applescript support of the application.
