In my opinion, the hardware requirements may differ, depending on what are you planning to do. For developing web applications, Back-end services, and other types of applications, you can do the job with a Single Core 1.0 Ghz, 64Mb Graphics Card, 1Gb of Ram.

Python is not very graphics intensive or CPU consuming, so yeah

The language itself doesn't require a lot of hardware. What will consume are your tools and whatever you develop. Stay at the light side with simple editors and IDEs, and you can use several languages without fear.

Hãwk I like Atom a lot. I think it has line numbers. And it also accepts plugins.

For python even 128mb is enough if you use cli and focus on some hardcore os coding stuff. It really depends.
