Are there any plans for K/N to support python interop? Or maybe it's already possible? Just wondering as it'd open up kotlin to data science

It is much more likely that Kotlin Native will have Rust interop ( https://www.jetbrains.com/careers/jobs/senior-software-engineer-new-ide-platform-442/ ). This is pure speculation based on what is happening with the new IDE platform.
Seems likely that Kotlin Native is being used since there is no sign of Java, or any other JVM based technology being used, and Rust is being used alongside Kotlin.
The closest method to Python interop is through C. There is a Kotlin Native sample that covers developing a Python extension: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/tree/master/samples/python_extension
