Hi Doron, thanks for your interest in astlinux. The subject of a package manager has come up before and the decision has always been no. So to add python you would need to build your own custom astlinux. Before you run away, building astlinux is not that hard, many users choose to do that so they can add specific packages they need, instructions are on the website. As for python, I just gave it a go and was able to build it so long as I did not add in the optional packages. The version of python in astlinux's package probably needs to be brought up-to-date (it is 2.7.1 whereas buildroot is at 2.7.18) and we would need to figure out why some of the optional packages fail to build if there are any you need.
If you are familiar with building linux / buildroot then do give it a go and let us know. If you need help don't hesitate to ask over on the astlinux developers mailing list.
