Not that I'm aware of. I think you'd best be served by using a regex to parse the particular input string you want and extract the zone, easting and northing, and then setup a QgsCoordinateTransform to convert from the detected UTM zone to WGS84. Should be ~5-10 lines of code to do, without needing any additional Python libraries.
