I'm not sure what you are asking here.
To use a C++ function/method from Python you will need to write
a wrapper around the C++ code, probably using SWIG or some similar
tool.
Is this what you are trying to do? And if so are you asking how
to map the C struct to a Python type within the wrapper?
Or are you trying to call the function directly? That won't be
possible, although if its a Windows function the ctypes library
may help, and may provide guidance on how to translate the struct.
Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve?
