It has to be a very fast language (as in NOT PYTHON) with low level memory management such as pointers. Some good options are C (Linux uses this), or C++ (Most OSes use this). Some assembly might be helpful too. Here is a PDF that explains it in detail: https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~exr/lectures/opsys/10_11/lectures/os-dev.pdf

Nope paavan. As Jacob already said: Python is not good for operating systems. It's a very high-level language. You could add a python-written layer on an operating system written in low-level languages if you want to, but this wouldn't be a python os.

C,C++ and Python are good for operating system but i think you need to know assembly language as well to create the kernel.

I agree with this....of Paavan Gupta"but i think you need to know assembly language as well to create the kernel." The kernel is the heart of the operating system, i work with "distros" of Linux,kernel is esential.
