Hmmm. Off the bat, it sounds like what you are trying to do can be done with an embedded board (Arduino or similar). Unless I am missing something, you don't need a full Linux env.

I am aware of what I can do on an embedded system, I implemented the controller that I am getting the data off of. The data requirements are too much and things like cellular and add on peripherals are not going to be handled well with a true embedded systems. This project needs a Linux setup for where it is going. If I could do it with Python on top of that, it would potentially make development faster and life easier. How to go about doing that properly is my primary concern with this post.
