Look at the Lua attempt to create OS. http://luaos.net/  Lua script is more
readable.

Personally, I would never prefer to create an OS in Python. If you get
minimal open sourced RTOS source code (many found in sourge forge), you
could start with basic and see the similar approach in Python.

If you need secure environment like GAE, you need to re-implement many
Python APIs & language runtime than re-writing everything from scratch.. You
know that processor still needs machine instructions to boot.

Hope you are not serious enough to get started :-). Your reasoning is not
sound good. All the best for your initiatives if you really get started.
