Yes.

The underlying signal processing blocks are coded in C++.  We've got a
pretty good assortment right now, but there are still some missing.
As we flush out the library, more and more can be done all in python.

Actually, we don't get python into GNU Radio, we get GNU Radio into
python.  To elaborate, we use a standard version of python 2.3, and
then load the modules that make up GNU Radio into the running copy of
python.

If you look at any of the examples in gnuradio-examples you'll see how
it's down.  Python is the interpreter for the scripts, and then we
import the relevant GNU Radio modules.

Hope this helps!
