If there is a Windows API you can probybly call it from Python
using Mark Hammond's Win32 extensions.

I guess you'll have to interface with setupapi.dll
(SetupIterateCabinet) via ctypes, or with Microsoft Cabinet utilities
via subprocess module. Neither is what people call fun...

Probably not what you mean with 'manipulate CAB files', but it may give
a start with ctypes and cab:
