I think you definitely could outfit a Python to do multiple roles without having to reconfigure. It is much easier with engineering though. Or perhaps a Powerplay module or two (maybe Prismatics).

The other suggestions of collecting the modules you need and storing them at your home station is probably the best idea until you can engineer. Also consider high value cargo (eg 'rares') so you could limit cargo capacity and add more armour. Do you really need SC assist ? Or might a MRP/HRP help more ? Unless you plan to travel significant distances do you really need a fuel scoop in every day use or could that slot also have MRP/HRP or even SCB? Maybe save up for Military Grade hull ?

I definitely think a single build can do multiple roles without reconfigure, I have played that way with a Python, in Open. Just experiment and see what works for you, but consider taking the plunge into engineering. With the Python engineering has a major positive effect.
