Cleese is a project to build a functioning operating system written almost entirely in Python. The basic idea is to have a microkernel mostly based on the Python VM and all other operating system functionality written in Python.

pyOS (prounounced "pious") is a python implemention of a psuedo unix-like operating system.

It is, however, technically possible to create an operating system centered on Python, that is; have only the very low level stuff in written in C and assembly and have most of the rest of the operating system written in Python.

Apr 23, 2024 · Python is mostly an interpreted language, so python code is normally not run on the CPU directly, but fed into another program, which in turn accesses the CPU to compute stuff. If you want an OS 100% in Python, you can't have any intermetiate program, you HAVE to run on the CPU yourself.

Inspired by this document and the OSDev wiki, I'll try to make short step-by-step READMEs and code samples for anybody to follow. Honestly, this tutorial is basically the first document but split into smaller pieces and without the theory.

There is no feasible way you will be able to write an entire operating system in under 500 hours, let only 5000 hours. The real question is is this for an undergraduate course or a graduate course? The answer to that will greatly reflect what is needed to pass.

Aug 25, 2016 · A large benefit of such an operating system is application portability, at least applications which are made in pure Python. The entire Operating System will run anywhere you can compile the Linux Kernel and Python into, with less effort than say porting all of Linux over to a different chipset.

4 days ago · Which are the best open-source operating-system projects in Python? This list will help you: snakeware, linux-factory, plugsched, thinRoot, genesis, pytermos, and qros-builder-vid.

Source code: Lib/os.py This module provides a portable way of using operating system dependent functionality. If you just want to read or write a file see open(), if you want to manipulate paths, s...

Apr 20, 2024 · You first need to make a new dialect of python with certain low level features and then make a new compiler for it. You could also write a new bare bone kernel designed to just run python code (in a more suitable language).
