Yes, the function you need (for time-domain simulations) is called

scipy.signal.lfilter (it's in the full scipy package).

If you want to simulate in the frequency domain, then the function is 
simply
fft, multiplication (the fftfreq command may be useful to specify your 
frequencies if you have a formula for your transfer function), ifft.

If I knew more what you were trying to do, I could help more.
