Hi Doron,

Thanks for reaching out.

AstLinux does not natively support python in our efficient 60 MB compressed image.

We do offer: bash, php, perl (limited modules), lua (version 5.1)

Alternatively, AstLinux does support LXC containers:

https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:guest_lxc_container_main

As such, you could create a Debian LXC, and install python.  Not sure what you are trying to do, but if network communication to your python LXC work for you, that may be a possible solution.
