Like anything else that is huge, just tackle the parts of it that you need.

"Ubuntu" is an African word that means "I can't configure Debian."

Knoppix, Ubuntu, and several other distributions are all based on
the fine work that the Debian GNU/Linux community does. Debian
GNU/Linux is completely Free, and is developed by volunteers from
around the world.

If you're really serious about having the 'perfect' distro, you can start
with Debian GNU/Linux and make your own, the way you want it to be.
While it is not a trivial matter to re-master a Linux Live CD, it is much
easier than it used to be! You could pack it full of Python! It is this
reason that there are hundreds of Linux Live CD distributions. Each
person thinks that their distro is the best. This is one reason why
GNU/Linux is so fantastic!

Why don't you make a Python-centric Linux Live CD?
