Alessandro,
maybe I am misunderstanding here, but if you need to run the ogr2ogr
command, why don't you run the version included in your package as an
external command from Python?
You may use the subprocess library for doing this, like:

>>> from subprocess import call
>>> call(['ogr2ogr'])

best regards
