Using PyObjC, you can use Python to write Cocoa applications for OS X. Can I write native iPhone apps using Python and if so, how?

While Android and iOS will not run interpreted code, you can use a Python mobile app framework like Kivy or BeeWare to write your mobile application in Python and then cross-compile it for Android or iOS. Learn more about Python's built-in elements.
With regards your technical question, iOS does not include a built-in Python interpreter. If you want to run Python scripts, you'll have to build a Python interpreter into your app.
You can use PyObjC on the iPhone as well, due to the excellent work by Jay Freeman (saurik). See iPhone Applications in Python.
Note that this requires a jailbroken iPhone at the moment.

Not currently, currently the only languages available to access the iPhone SDK are C/C++, Objective C and Swift.
There is no technical reason why this could not change in the future but I wouldn't hold your breath for this happening in the short term.
That said, Objective-C and Swift really are not too scary...
2016 edit
Javascript with NativeScript framework is available to use now.
