No, it cannot run Python. Even MicroPython [1] requires 16 KB of RAM, and probably at least 8 times more flash (code space) than this chip has.
This is an embedded microcontroller, not a general-purpose computer. You program it in C, and poke registers to make things happen.
Edit: forgot link.

- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoLast I looked, it was a 256KB rom requirement, and worth noting that the 16KB ram is just the interpreter. Your code adds on top of that. IMO microPython is a waste of time.
- benj111 4y agoWhy is it a waste of time? If you want your pi Pico flashing some lights it seems suitable. Fair enough if youre shipping 100k units and want to minimise the bom then fine, but that isn't most hobbyists.
- pencilguin 4y agoYou could better program it in C++. Or even Rust.
