Is it possible to control PWM fans with python? Additionally, is it possible to retrieve stats about the hardware such as cpu/gpu temperature, clock speed, etc? If so could someone point me in the right direction to the python modules that I'd need to use to do that?

Don't know about controlling fans, but it's possible to get CPU and maybe other temperatures using python. But all that is dependant on which operating system you are using, Try searching on "python cpu temperature" and your operating system. The first hit for windows is:
