I've been doing Python applications lately, but I've only tested it on Windows 10 (and sometimes on Windows 7).
Now, I need to create an app to be available on Windows XP and 98 also. From my research, I've seen Python drooped Win9x/NT support at version 2.5.4.
There are alternative builds: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/162317-python-27-for-windows-95/ but, I want to know from your experience, what is the best practice to create this application and to make it as plug and play?
Everything under python 2.7 is just death, try to make it as cross-platform friendly so you can work it out.
One tip I know when working with that kind of stuff is not to use os.system() functions and such. It's better to find a library that interacts with it under the hood.

is a Linux based system needed for python hacking? I just watching my Udemy ethical hacking with python course and
he kept saying you need Linux based O.P system.
Why you need a Linux Operating System
I didn't understand it because he didn't explain why we need to use it so I'm asking here can you explain?
In general, you don't need a GNU/Linux system to learn Python, but since you are learning it with an online course the course's materials may be written for a certain GNU/Linux distribution. So, it would be easier for you to follow the course if you have the software suggested for the course.
In the course you mentioned, they use Kali Linux, a distribution for security and forensic professionals. I suppose, it has a lot of tools for hacking preinstalled and working out of the box. In the introduction, the course also describes how to install the distribution in a virtual machine, so you can use it on a Mac or Windows.

is it possible to write Metro apps with Python? Because Python is my primary language.
You can't write a full application yet. The easiest path to that would be to use a Python Binding for the CLR, such as IronPython. Unfortunately, they're still working on support.
There's clearly a lot of interest in adding support for Metro, since they even had a work item in, which has now been migrated to GitHub.
Citing their own documentation,
Support for Android, Windows 8 Store Apps (Metro), Window Phone 8, and
iOS are also planned (in roughly that order).
When that happens, the project will be able to target the subset of the BCL that WinRT supports.
No. Python is not a supported language for Windows Store apps.
That said, some people have ported python to run scripts in a Windows Store app (for example: Python 3 for Metro). The app itself is not written in python.

I have implemented a new algorithm in python, using sources which use the numpy, scipy libraries and deal with file I/O. I now need to build a Windows GUI app (python might not be installed in any form on a Windows OS) which will implement my existing python source, and take inputs such as file names and some other parameters. Please suggest some possible methods to make this happen.
You may create a GUI for your app, using different options like as below:
wxPython
TkInter
PyQt
This question may help you too.
Regarding creating the final executable you have some options like as below:
py2exe
GUI2EXE
cx_freeze
PyInstaller
There are other issues regarding the creation of an executable discussed here on the SO you may refer to them here if you are interested.

While searching python client for Hadoop, I found two modules pydoop and hadoopy. It seems both are good enough to work with, but not sure which one has more advantages than the other to install one.
The most comprehensive documentation of this I think is http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2013/01/a-guide-to-python-frameworks-for-hadoop/
Recently, I really think that mrjob has come out ahead as a clear frontrunner. It has a very active mailing list and it seems to be relatively stable and up to date. It also has nice integration with Amazon EMR.

I would like to know from you guys how you have set up your Mac terminal for python programming. I havent done anything big so far (have used ide's until now) with python in terminal but I think that you can do all kinds of fancy things (automatic fill up functions, colors, ...). Any suggestions??
Thanks you guys!
Assuming that Python is already on your computer:
Go to /Applications folder
Then open Utilities
Double Click Terminal to open it and get a command line
type 'python' in the command prompt
Your all set!
