Yes, we even have a special library for that:

Hi peke,
thanks for the instant reply.I've installed selenium
library and gone through demo scripts available.These scripts are in
the format of selenese and are in html format and i have some
computations which i need to implement in python and that is the
reason i preferred selenium rc.

I want to know that should i use robotframework with selenium library
without leaving the flexibility i have in python scripting.

More precisely can i write selenium rc script in python by using this
framework.

Regards,
Vamsi.

That format isn't actually selenese, this is how Robot Framework test
case normally look like. You should probably take a look at the Quick
Start Guide [1] to get a better understanding about the syntax and how
keywords there map to different keywords.

You can write your own library that uses Selenium RC and use its
keywords from Robot Framework test data. You can interact with
Selenium RC directly or use SeleniumLibrary internally. If you are
planning to implement some generic functionality, please submit
feature requests and/or patches to SeleniumLibrary's tracker.
