Yes.
There are at least five possible ways:

- Handcode the interface and glue code (http://docs.python.org/extending)
- use SWIG to autogenerate (mostly) the interface (http://www.swig.org)
- using BOOST's python interface 
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/python/doc/index.html)
- using ctypes module for runtime interaction (like and use it a _lot_, 
very cool for rapid prototyping :-) 
http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html)
- cython (different approach, implements a python subset, http://cython.org)

I used SWIG and ctypes in the past, as it seems (for me) the easiest way.
