If your collaborators don't mind the existence of some Org-mode specific comments in the .py file, you can tangle with comments on and then use the `org-babel-detangle' function to bring changes in the source file back into your Org-mode buffer. In this way it should be possible for you to collaborate without leaving Org-mode.
