Hi Mario: I followed the Orca instructions for braille, and near the end of them a command is given from Python; something about "import brltty". That command gives me no errors. For that reason partly, I believe the answer to your question is "yes".
Also, braille is working with orca, at least in the initial preferences dialog now. I never got 3.7.2 to work with it; but 3.8 is great. So, for these two reasons I think the Python bindings are fine. It is at a command line prompt that I get this "not in text mode" error. I hope this is helpful information. I made the mistake of trying to enable Orca on startup in Ubuntu. Not good!
