<p>For MultiBit you could use the command line utility called WalletTool that Mike Hearn wrote. You can use it to create bitcoinj wallets (which is what MultiBit uses). 
There is a description of it here:

<p>You could wrap calls to it in your favourite scripting tool fairly easily I imagine. </p>

<p>I'm considering working on a bitcoin project that will need to generate wallet files.  I'm not looking to create receipt addresses that a customer can send funds to for an existing wallet.  Instead, I need to generate numerous wallet files, each with preferably only 1 payment address, that can be distributed across multiple locations.</p>

<p>Can this easily be done from a daemon command or with an existing API?  If there is an API for this, any language is fine, though I would prefer Python.</p>

You can try this utility called [pywallet](https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet/blob/master/pywallet.py). You don't need to run pywallet from the command line though - just put it in the same directory, do `import pywallet`, and you can use any of the functions in there. You should try running it from the command line first though, because it'll show you any missing dependencies.
