Well of course I don't know exactly what you'd need, but the answer's certainly Yes :) In short, even native Python comes with the ctypes module which will let you call -- with only a little working out the structures -- into any Windows DLL or COM interface (the latter via the comtypes extension). But in any case the pywin32 packages and various other open source projects have already done a lot of the work for you. Plus it's easy enough to write your own extension which does the dirty work in C and exposes it to Python as functions, objects or whatever suits your purposes. Good luck!
