The Updated code should be 

import salt.client as client
c = client.LocalClient()
c.cmd('test_server',  # target 
  'state.sls',    # function
  ['django'],  # arg for function
  expr_form='nodegroup',
  kwarg={'pillar':{'status':'TEST'},}
  )

Yes, salt Client API can do what you want, your code just need to change a bit:

import salt.client as client
c = client.LocalClient()
c.cmd('test_server',  # target 
      'state.sls',    # function
      ['django', pillar={'status':'TEST'}],  # arg for function
      expr_form='nodegroup',  
      )

see Salt Python client API docs for more detail
