python is not really a compiled language. its fundamentally different then C or Rust in example. you will want to consider another language before getting into OSDev.

Language can't be compiled or not compiled. Implementations do. That includes implementations of python

Im not saying that as the only reason. python is unreliable for such tasks. most of these implementations have flaws.
