Do you really need to write the map and reduce functions as a Javascript and supply them as strings? That certainly seems un-pythonic to me.

If you have m-r code in your application, codify those functions, store them separately in a directory or even Riak objects, and refer to them by name in your code. Or, better yet, write it in Erlang.

By codify, do you mean something of this flavor:

mapper = lambda x: (x['word'],1)

Or something of the the following flavor:

mapper = JSCode('function(x) {return (x.word,1)}')

Not to change the conversation but that's the same way you do it in PyMongo[1], I agree it looks bit un-pythonic.
