PyOS?

I been hearing about a whole Operating System, made entirely in Python. I was wondering if it's even possible to do something of that magnitude with something small like Python, but alas, I can already tell people have done SO MUCH more with Python than I can manage.

Is this PyOS like, just as equivalent in file capabilities (manage mp3s, bmps, other compatible software, etc...) and stuff, or because it's not a mass-marketed thing, there's a few faulties with it that make Linux and Windows better choices?

And of course out of curiosity, what would be some necessities to even make an OS, especially in Python? I can tell Graphics are a must, to make things like a taskbar, windows, buttons, icons... I'm going to guess a few things would be needed, such as importing Socket for internetting stuff, PyGame to make the interface, PIL to manage graphics, and so on. I just know OS's are something I can't do alone, but just the thought of organizing one on paper is interesting.
