Is there a way to crop a GeoTIFF in Python?

Using gdal_translate in the command line seems to do the trick, even though the Python binding doesn’t work. This worked to crop a GeoTiff removing 300 pixel padding from top and left and keeping the next 2000×2000 pixels. gdal_translate -srcwin 300 300 2000 2000 input.tif output.tif
