I would expect this translates to a Python wrapper for
libgphoto2 -- suggest looking at:

http://www.gphoto.org/

However,

http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/future.html

suggests that it does not yet exist.  Perhaps you'll want to
consider using one of the various methods to wrap C libs
for Python.  I'd probably look at Pyrex 

http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/

if I were going to try to do that.

Cheers,
Terry
