"applies to the following models:
fx-CG50
GRAPH90+E
fx-CG50 AU"
That would mean that the user cannot choose the firmware.

The above means the answer is YES, they DO use the same firmware. So the CG50 will run Python as well.

It is clear that the GRAPH 90+E is the French version of the international fx-CG50.

If we try to download the GRAPH 90+E software update v3.11, CASIO redirects to the same download binary used for the fx-CG50.

So, both sports the same internal hardware components, and currently are loading the firmware OS from exactly the same software update binary EXE 19MByte file.

However, the international and French models sports different interface languages to chose from.
For instance, the French version lists French (obviously) and Spanish, among others, but no English.

So, despite using the same binary EXE file to do the software update, each model loads different firmware components.

In good Casio tradition, I would not be surprised to see a hardware jumpers/resistors configuration in the PCB to distinguish between each different model.
Folks have been converting lesser featured Casio models to the top versions by just changing those jumpers in other past models.

As I see it, the Python feature is just another App to be added and later loaded from the 32MByte Flash ROM used on both model versions.
Technically I see no reason why this App can't be loaded into the international model as well.

If Casio will not do it, I'm quite sure some folks at Casio specialized forums will do it.
It is a matter of time.
