Why not, to start with NASA uses python.
I have seen many GIS applications developed in java, if java can then why have a doubt with python. To site examples, IBM have a set of products to provide such solutions which are being developed in java and which could be very well manipulated in python which has powerful integrating and extending capablities.
try to have a look at
http://gispython.org/ and http://gislounge.com/python-and-gis-resources/
and also have a look at toolkit
Python-mapnik
C++/Python toolkit for developing GIS applications (Python)
I haven't tried these though ;)
