Is there any way to create SQLTags in via a Python script? It looks like I can update tag values, but I can’t find an option to actually make tags and folders.

The other way would be to create the SQL required to insert the rows in the database. (a lot more work)

The forum thread posted by mazerat is the only way to do this when using an internal SQLTags provider.
