yes, it's already possible :)

Here is working example from our experimental c+python thingy:
#!/usr/bin/env python

from bpf import BPF
from subprocess import call

prog = """
#include <uapi/linux/ptrace.h>
#include <uapi/linux/perf_event.h>
int hello(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
  struct perf_event_attr attr = {};
  bpf_probe_read(&attr, sizeof(attr), (void *) ctx->di);
  char fmt[] = "type %x size %d config %d\\n";
  bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), attr.type, attr.size, attr.config);
  return 0;
}
"""
b = BPF(text=prog)
fn = b.load_func("hello", BPF.KPROBE)
BPF.attach_kprobe(fn, "SYSC_perf_event_open")
try:
    call(["cat", "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe"])
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

running above gives me output:
# ./example.py
      perf_4.1.0-5544  [001] d.h3  3818.231428: : type 1 size 0 config 0
