Not for any existing OSes.  

I don't think it wouldn't be very hard to put a Python
byte-code interpreter into kernel space under Linux.  The
"deeply embedded" Python project has already done a lot of the
work since they've got a version of Python that runs w/o an OS.

But nobody has taken the time to do it.  Sounds like a good
grad-school project to me.

I think that writing a Python interpreter in VHDL is the
definitive answer...
