Can a Python script be written that has the ability to stop a Linux

perform an action?
It depends...
For example, when I boot my switch (w/ Linux OS 2.7.3), I want to stop
the boot when I see a series of asterisks. When I see this, I need to
hit the <ESC><SHIFT><9>
Could you do it with a bash script? If so you could do it with Python.
But I've no idea whether your switch will be in a state to run user
processes at that point in its boot sequence. If you don't have a
shell environment its going to be a whole lot harder.
doing a PXE boot,
???
