Seems unlikely. The performance ratio of native code vs. Python is hundreds of times. The original game targeted roughly 100 MHz CPUs. Computers have gotten faster since 1998, but not that much faster in terms of single-threaded performance, the relevant metric here. I'd guess a python x86 emulator would run at 1/5 to 1/10 the required speed.
