No, it's not officially supported and there are currently no plans to
support it, though as PEP 316 is Deferred and not Rejected, it's
theoretically possible that it could be Accepted and added to the
language some day.
At any rate, there are several third-party libraries available that
allow you to use Design by Contract in Python, albeit without
language-level support.
See http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=contract&submit=search
for a list
