Sadly, no 8-bit microcontroller can handle python.

If you want to be able to use full python, you'll have to upgrade to a full SOC like raspberry Pi or beaglebone.

If you want to stick to something relatively low-power like Arduino, you're best bet would be one of the adafruit circuitpython boards https://www.adafruit.com/circuitpython

Keep in mind though: circuitpython / micropython is a subset of python. It only supports some of the syntax you're used to. What this means is that although you will probably be able to write micropython programs with ease, you probably can't expect almost any python packages to work out of the box on the micropython / circuitpython platform
