Feel free to re-implement Bitcoin Core in Python. It's open source software and you can do whatever you want.

However Bitcoin Core is not going move to Python and rewrite everything in Python. Besides the fact that Python is far less efficient than C/C++, rewriting Bitcoin Core in any other language would be a huge undertaking and introduce many bugs for almost no benefit whatsoever. Bitcoin Core won't be changing languages for the entire codebase, but you are welcome to port it to Python yourself.

I'm proposing re-writing bitcoin codebase in Python for improving pre and post merging abilities, faster operations and better understandability. Python is a fast language with C support, it is good with hashing things, it has a good syntax and everyone can read / understand it unlike C++.

I am willing the coordinate the transformation operation and i believe it would be really good the get rid of C++.
