I ruined an Xbox original trying to connect it to my phone, then dropped my new one. I can break... anything.

I suspect that so long as you steer clear of the GPI header for a while you're likely to be fine. It's only once you get into control voltages that smoke can be let out in programming.

You can run your python in a virtual machine or live instance of Linux.

If you're at the point where you're using Python to interface your X-Box and phone, you're past the beginner stage and all bets are off.
