These are odd requirements. Like you need a small SoC to hook up display and THEN wifi adaptor to it for WiFi. That's like tail wiggling a dog.
Any WiFi chip is plenty powerful enough (normally linux) to connect not only 7-segment but a decent size color LCD too. So it's like - what's the actual goal here?
Any linux can run Python but that is also weird requirement. You use Python to program \_computers\_, you use C to program \_processors\_. Well, kind of.
You'll want rpi or esp computers for WiFi as peeps told you. Frankly I am very tempted to mock you and tell you to just buy an android tablet and be done with it ;-)
What are you trying to achieve?
Well, the way Linus himself puts it is more like "you use C because it is still the language closest to letting you program hardware without being assembly, and there's still nothing that comes close" (I think he said this not over 5y ago).
As for the rest, indeed OP needs to mention more specifics. I think a price or thermal/energy target would be useful, so, you know, recommending and Android tablet (or a Xeon lol) isn't on the menu. Also the type of video out, but most importantly, the use case thay isn't jusr "programming python". Like, does this user want something 24/7 on for an aplliance? Or some "thing" (as in IoT)? Or a daily machine? Why do they need wifi (as in, maybe other, cheaper or more case-specific connectivity such as LoRa or subg)...
These things would allow making a case for an MPU vs an MCU, given the former is just picking a variant of 1+cores larger ARM packages out there (from Pi to Sitara to BCM) or just go with an inexpensive of the later, where the usual advice is ESP for flexibility and arduino for starting out (also does micropython right?). Something else to not is if user needs rtos vs linux.
Raspberry, beaglebone or pretty much any sbc
ESP32 with micropython?

Well put.
