Definitely the answer is yes. As you can see with a simple search, most of the high level interfaces are just based on Python for the language flexibility and the ability to interface with other low-level languages (e.g. C/C++) and also to interact with the Linux system directly.
If you install one of the versions of Linux distributions for the Raspberry PI - raspbian wheeze or jessie just to mention the most diffused - you will see that in the distribution Python language is natively included. Not only but you can count on a lot of hardware control libraries for gaming and nice user interface design; by the other side GPIO and other hardware control features are available developed in C++ with the library interface for Python as well as many pre-built Raspberry PI shields and add-ons. Take a look to the technical documentation of produces like the PiFace series (Cad, Digital, Motor etc.) and Gertbot. You will see that in almost all the cases together with the option to develop in C++ language your own applications there is the availability of a python library for easy interfacing.
