Of course it's possible to contribute; there are KDE apps written in Python using PyQt and PyKDE (e.g. the Mahjongg game Kajongg, or Kubuntu's printer-applet). However, you might run into problems when your task includes work on libraries and existing applications. All KDE libraries and most apps are written in C++. This realistically limits your choice of tasks to either creating a new completely Python-based application, or hacking on an existing Python application. That is, unless you invest time to learn C++. This language is indeed quite complex and has its "scary" places, but Qt and KDE advocate a C++ coding style that avoids many of these shallows. It also helps that you are already comfortable in Python and thus know concepts like object-oriented programming already.
