What comes stock on a Pi is more than sufficient (there’s plenty of room for “standard” python 2 and python 3).

Micropython (https://micropython.org/) fits that category nicely for micro controllers and Adafruit’s version of it, CircuitPython has a strong following https://www.adafruit.com/circuitpython

These have been great to allow people learn not only python, but how to physically interact with the world outside the computer.
