Of course. You just have to wrap your classes up in a function.
Arbitrary sample -- say we've got a python file 'HelloModule.py' containing:

class HelloSayer:
     def greet(self): return 'hello'
def wrapper(self):
     h = HelloSayer()
     return h.greet()


In this example, your External Method would probably be called 'greet' 
(arbitrary, really), the function name should be 'wrapper', and the 
module name should be eg. 'HelloModule'
