I thought it is somewhere, but I don't find any

for the example in the R help, maybe something like this

>>> xs = (7.8, 6.6, 6.5, 7.4, 7.3, 7., 6.4, 7.1, 6.7, 7.6, 6.8)
>>> xs = np.asarray(xs)
>>> med=6.5; stats.binom_test([(xs<med).sum(),(xs>med).sum()], p=0.5)
0.021484374999999997
same p-value as in R

A one-sample version of wilcoxon signed rank test also seems to be missing.
