I think they should be represented as dict-like objects, where keys are agent variables.

For a first pass, they should be read-only.

One tricky thing is keeping them in sync with NetLogo. For instance:

py:set "t" turtle 0
ask turtle 0 [ set color red ]
print py:runresult "t['color']" ;; This will be out of date

I think just not caring is good enough for a first pass, as long as it's clear in the docs. Otherwise, we'd have to track and sync all agent-objects on every call, which sounds awful.
