The Seeed studio XIAO ecosystem of processors and interface devices is
likely of interest to you
I link here one processor that is Python capable.
https://www.seeedstudio.com/XIAO-RP2040-v1-0-p-5026.html
If you explore their website you'll find a whole array of equipment that
could be useful.

NB. I source most of my equipment from AliExpress rather than Seeed. In
your case Seeed is a one-stop-shop suitable for an entry level project,
however you may have to look at AliExpress for power components such as
buck and boost converters.

If you need a fancy host processor to link everything together, you can
run Devuan on an ARM SOC - see https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=24
