Hi Dark, Possibly. Of course, if the game itself is written in a fairly easy language like Python to begin with there wouldn't be any need for the game to be written in any specific RPG creation tool. Just import the required Python classes and write your adventure. I see no reason why someone couldn't create a version of Eamon in Python.
I think one reason Eamon itself was written in Basic was for the fact that it was a common enough language at the time and was easy enough to anyone could learn and use it. It would have been a different story if Eamon had been written in C++ or something like that. Being written in Basic anyone could modify the game code and add adventures. I do feel something like Python could possibly fulfill that requirement today. Cheers!
