If you mean a way to convert wav to ogg inside a pythong program, then 
no, but if you are just talking about converting wav to ogg in general, 
yes, there are plenty of tools.

On Linux look for the oggenc program, which comes standard as part of 
the vorbis-tools

On windows you can use the graphical OggdropXPd from 
http://www.rarewares.org/ogg-oggdropxpd.php

And another good option is the SoX tool from http://sox.sourceforge.net/

And finally, if you want something really graphical, with editing and 
filter&effect capabilities too, The http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ 
sound recorder/editor can save/load both wav and ogg format. It runs on 
all three major platforms.
