This board is dedicated to the e-ink readers, so it's not the right place to discuss KFire issues, I think. You should have a look at general Android-targeted boards to get more info. When not present in Amazons App Store, you probably need to sideload an app that does what you want. A terminal emulator is a good start, while root is probably not strictly needed (but might be for sideloading apps).

You need a version of python for the ARM architecture. Whether you can freely execute downloaded binaries is another issue, though. Python is mostly worthless without its standard libraries, I think. On a standard linux distribution, that's a bunch of .py files plus probably some C/C++-to-Python glue code (just guessing here).

Googling for "python on android" returns a lot of hits. I guess you need to wade through this. Maybe others in the Kindle related boards have more targeted suggestions.
