Red Hat and Caldera certainly will, since their system administration tools
are written in Python. 

But I would strongly suggest using TCL/Tk instead if it is a simple little
configuration program, because I don't know of any Linux distribution that
does not come with TCL/Tk -- amongst other things, 'make xconfig' needs TCL/Tk
in order to work. TCL is brain-dead, but for simple stuff it's usable.
