Not really.  Not like the java media framework or QT4Java.
Someone is working on video playing in python that works on Windows or 
Macs but it's still being developed:

Also, in wxPython on Windows only, you can embed Internet Explorer or 
other ActiveX objects including the Media Player & Powerpoint I assume.
Run the demo for an example: http://www.wxpython.org/
I guess the easiest thing to do would just be to embed Internet Explorer 
and have it load a page that plays the movie or flash file.

Even easier though would just be to make your application a web 
application and let the browser be the whole interface.
