I would like to write a simulation program using Python language for

Can I convert it into Python language?
Yes, but it would be slower unless you use numpy to the heavy calculation.
Or you can wrap your current C program or routines within it so that
they can be called from Python. If you compile to a .dll or .so, you can
access function with the ctypes module.

If you know Python well, you should have fewer problems. That is why
people sometimes develop prototypes in Python and then translate to C if
they need more speed.
