Not currently (that's an unrelated project I wasn't aware of). It is a
goal to make one, but time hasn't been available.

We're taking a big step towards it by creating a high-level C API for
Pacemaker that's essentially equivalent to how the command-line tools
work. It will be much easier to wrap this API in Python. There are
already high-level API equivalents of crmadmin and crm_simulate, and
the crm_mon equivalent is expected in the next release.

In the meantime, the easiest approach is probably just to use the
subprocess module to execute the Pacemaker command-line tools to do
what you want.
