Obviously not, how should it do that ?
You first need a crosscompiled version of Python. Then you need
to make the python module build process to be crosscompile-aware.
Good luck ;-o

Similary to perl, python is not designed for that (one of the
major reasons I avoid it like holy water ;-o). It's all based on
the assumption that the building system equals the actual target.

In this case it's not a glib/gtk problem (despite it has it's
own misdesigns like AC_TRY_RUN calls) - it's a Python design issue.
