These are non standard C functions and will depend on
your compiler, OS and hardware. You might be able to
access them from Python via the ctypes module, especially
if they are in a Windows DLL.
There is a way to access the parallel port from Python as was mentioned
in a thread earlier this week(?) using pyParallel.

But pyParallel is still in development...
