Thats a charm?! :-)

Unfortunately no.
You can achieve a lot using the built in os modules 
and the winall package. In particular pythonwin 
provides access to almost all of the MFC API which 
in turn gives access to most of the Win32 API. 
But...

most * most != all

You can of course create a C++ or VB or Delphi DLL
top expose the other bits of the API - there are web 
pages for how to do that linked off python.org.

But that's hardly simple, and definitely not charming...
