An arduino working in conjunction with the Pi can fill in the gaps. At one time you could buy an arduino board that was also a Pi hat. Python on the Pi and C on the arduino seemed like a good idea to me. Also there are microprocessor boards that can run MicroPython which does offer some real-time functionality with a nice Python script front end. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
