   Only through the Win32 Python extensions, I think:

>>> from win32com.shell import shell
>>> from win32com.shell import shellcon
>>> shell.SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, shellcon.CSIDL_APPDATA)
u'G:\\Documents and Settings\\Neil1\\Application Data'
>>> shell.SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, shellcon.CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
>>> shell.SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, 0x1c)
u'G:\\Documents and Settings\\Neil1\\Local Settings\\Application Data'

   Looks like CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA isn't included yet, but its value is 0x1c.
