Yes you can use qrcode:

import qrcode
import qrcode.image.svg

img = qrcode.make('http://www.google.com/', image_factory=qrcode.image.svg.SvgImage)

with open('qr.svg', 'wb') as qr:
    img.save(qr)

You can use google apis to create qr code without additional library:

import requests

WIDTH = 400
HEIGHT = 400

DATA = "http://www.google.com/"

image = requests.get(f"https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs={WIDTH}x{HEIGHT}&cht=qr&chl={DATA}")
image.raise_for_status()

with open("qr.png", "wb") as qr:
    qr.write(image.content)
