Not directly.

virt-resize makes lots of libguestfs API calls.  While all of those
API calls are available through the Python API, the trick would be
knowing what calls to make :-)

I think you would be best to run virt-resize as an external program.

Luckily virt-resize in 1.14 contains several enhancements designed to
make it easier to run it as an external program.  See:
