What exactly do you mean by an operating system?
If you don't want to program in C/C++ then you're going to have a hard time.
I don't want to be too discouraging, but with that attitude I doubt you
would get very far.
 

Indeed, this is very true.
It sounds like you want to make more of an OS shell -- no?  You can
implement a shell on top of any OS and probably do it in a language like
Python.
 

He should just build around a linux core or use OS kit (if he is 
serious/determined).

But if it is going to be a complete OS in pure Python, uh, it won't be!
You'll have to do a lot of stuff in C, at the least interface with the
hardware.
 

He could use something like O' caml or Oz no?  I might be confused, but 
I understood them to be C/C++ comparable in terms of power and in that 
they both compile vs. VMs and interpreters (for O' caml this is optional 
I think).  Or what about D?
