I think Python is too large a language for such a small processor.
Among embedded developers, FORTH is a favorite script language since
implementations can be extremely compact and efficient.  There are
several Z80 implementations already existing.  Programming in Forth is
pain compared to Python though, in my opinion.

To horrify Python and Forth fans simultaneously, I once implemented
Forth in Python, where every Forth word compiled to a Python function
closure.  But on a Z80 you wouldn't do anything like that.
