My understanding is: (i) the current DDS spec doesn't include what we
call services; (ii) there's an extension for services that is
currently under consideration and may make its way into a future
revision of the spec; and (iii) some current implementations have
vendor-specific extensions for services.

On language bindings: C, C++, Java, and C# are common. I've seen
mention of Ruby in connection with some implementations. Python
support seems absent.
On OS: Most implementations seem to support at least Windows, OSX, and
Linux. It's pretty common among the commercial versions to also
support RTOSs, including VxWorks and QNX. Then there are the
small-footprint implementations that are intended for use in OS-less
microcontroller applications.

See above. I haven't seen any Python DDS libraries.
