There is a workaround using Keys() method of browser Page object. Sorry, I'm not familiar with Python but in JScript it looks like following:

 

var browser = Sys.Find('ProcessName', 'chrome');

var page = browser.Page('http://yourpage.url/');

page.Keys("!^[Del]"); // Ctrl + Shift + Delete keys combination opens clear browser data dialog
SleepSeconds(2);

browser.Page('chrome://settings/clearBrowserData').Keys("[Enter]"); // hit Enter in clear browser data dialog
SleepSeconds(2);
browser.Page('chrome://settings/').Close(); // close settings page after clearing browsing data

page.Keys('[F5]');
