i am working in my thesis of master and i will work with sparse matrix (i.e 128^4),

What is 128^4 (=268,435,456) ? The row and column size? Or the number of nonzero entries?

so my question is if exist a command in scipy that solve sparse matrix using at the Gauss-Seidel iteration method?

That is usually very slow and may even not converge. Have you considered using any Krylov iterative method?.
