Simple answer: If it's capable of running a modern Windows, it's
capable of running Python. There's no screen resolution requirements,
and the RAM, CPU, and HD requirements depend more on what you do with
Python than on the language itself. The easiest way to find out is to
try it - grab the installer, plop it onto a system, see how much less
disk space you have. Then start running code and see how efficient it
is. There's a world of difference between the RAM/CPU requirements of
"Hello, world" and a program that does video processing, and that's
true regardless of the language.
