It was more of a "tongue in cheek" comment about how fair they have progressed with the restoration with how little time they have spent on it (as they are not restoring this as a full time job).

In other words they are progressing so well they will have python running on it despite the "limitations" of the Alto just to prove they can even if its just a simple hello world. I'm not actually expecting them to port python to it.

…there is ”Micropython“…
