Many simple Python scripts will run on the HP (I mean OOP or some advanced features like yield are not supported). Some scripts will require a few adjustements. And the HP UI does not support Python compatibility right now.
One big difference with the Casio and Numworks MicroPython implementations is that the CAS programming language is fully integrated in the HP calc. You can call any CAS and HP PPL commands from your Python syntax CAS scripts. Casio has only urandom and math modules, Numworks urandom/math/cmath and a few pixelized graphic commands. On the HP you have something equivalent to numpy/scipy+CAS.
Actually, this is not the full picture on the Casio CG50/CG20/Graph 90+e, because I have ported Xcas on it

(https://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~par...casio.html if you read French)
If you are running KhiCAS, you will also have a much more complete programming environment on the Casio + some features that are currently not available on the HP like Logo turtle or programming editor with syntax coloration and parenthese matching. On the other hand, the Xcas port on the Casio is incomplete because there is not enough room in flash to make a full port.
