Probably not. My old ray tracer could take several hours to render a scene of moderate complexity, with soft shadows, depth of field, and antialiasing effects, even on the Pentium classic which succeeded my old 386. Writing one in Python would be even worse. Unless there's a very, very good native code compiler for some language don't even think about trying it. -- Rafael R.
