I have a quick answer. No

If you think about the way Python works you should quickly appreciate that there are several aspects of it that make it quite unsuitable for a micro-processor like the Arduino.

C/C++ is the only option for Arduino programming at the moment.

...R

@ibutuar: UKHeliBob gave you a perfectly succinct and accurate answer(IMO, it was a little too wordy)
Why do you have a problem with that?

why not?

Have you ever seen a Python environment that could run in 2k bytes of RAM, or even less?

why not?

Perhaps you should explain why you think it is possible to change the programming language to python.
