An interesting project. Unfortunately I don't know enough about how PCs do that kind of low level monitoring. Given that Windows displays the battery level in the system tray I'm assuming there will be a Windows API Call that can do it. If thats the case then yes you should be able to do that from Python via Pythonwin or ctypes. You will need to do some searching of the Microsoft documentation. I'd start with the MDSN web site... It will probably take a bit of experimentation to get right but Pytthon is good for doing that kind of work using the interactive prompt. Somebody else might have a more specific answer.
