The bootloader would have to be a 'python-core'. Ideally a fast implementation of just the python syntax and language features. Now *that* would be an excellent basis for a restricted mode python interpreter - which could make 'python applets' closer to a reality. It would also make python for embedded systems and embedding python in larger programs easier as well. A purely 'core language' implementation with no libraries.....
Obviously you'd need file systems, drivers, and something to create the functionality of the os and sys libraries. Basing it on the existing Linux kernel would seem like a much more sensible idea.... There is/was a project (Peter Hansen ?) to produce a pure python file system. that could be an interesting component.
