To program an operating system, you need deep knowledge how internals work. The language you are using needs low level access. And I don't think a garbage collected language is a good fit for an operating system either. Especially an interpreted language like Python requires an interpreter to run under. And Python is not the fastest language either, which is fatal for a low level os functionality.
What do you expect from turning C code into Python code? Python does not have low level access, it requires C (even Rust requires some C functionality). I don't think it is even possible to write an OS purely in Python.
