Martin,

Yes. The gdal_fillnodata.py utility is just a python script,and you can examine
it to see how to call the fillnodata algorithm.  The gdal_rasterize utility
is a program, but the algorithm is also exposed in python (with some loss of
flexibility) and it can be seen in use in the test script at:

   http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/autotest/alg/rasterize.py

Good luck,
