Is it possible to write a full-fledged browser in python?

Or should this idea be translated into some other language?

Theoretically - it is possible in any language.
Practically - why do you need it? Alone, this is already overwhelming work. It's like assembling a jet plane yourself from shit and sticks (shit in this case has nothing to do with a python)

Yes, it is quite possible to write from scratch something very similar to a modern browser in a few years. Python is very poorly suited for this due to its peculiarities, and in the browser, the high speed of many complex code sections is important. To write a browser, it makes sense to use PLs compiled into native code with advanced optimizers. If the goal is initially educational, then you can still join some OpenSource project.
