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.
