Yes.

Several, in fact--all available at no charge.  The Python
world is different from what experience with Fortran might
lead you to expect.

I'll be more clear:  Fortran itself is a distinguished
language with many meritorious implementations.  It can be
costly, though, finding the implementation you want/need
for any specific environment.

Python, in contrast, is blessed with a plethora of 
implementations and variations, all of which are available
without licensing fee.  In particular, recent Mac OS X
installations INCLUDE Python--it's already in there!
