Seems like the only way to know, is to try.
But if you don't program C already, building a processor using VHDL and another chip to interpret Python, then fitting them together with some USB and ethernet ports seems to be quite a daunting task.
The money would pay out, but the starting capital is in the thousands of programming hours specifically for embedded systems.
