It should be possible to write some C code, link to libpython and use the python C api (http://docs.python.org/api/api.html) with the R C-level API. I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work (some R packages such as Rgdal link to external libraries) but you'd have to learn the C- APIs for python and R! The kludgy way of doing it is to get your R function to save its parameters in a .RData file, then use system() to start a python script, then have the python script use Rpy to read the .RData into python variables and do the analyses. Then reverse to get the answer back into R. However it might just be easier to write the inputs to a plain text file and save starting up a new R process in the python script (especially if your input data is small).
