Hi as much as I like chrome books.... My opinion so I would rather give him a laptop either with Linux or windows with free virtualisation software on to run either so and program on both especially if he will be offline.
Alternative if you have wifi/network constant connection then just a browser and spin up a free tier aws host and program on that. It's good to get a grasp early of things like git github an IDE and a appstack on a PaaS to run the apps developed, like aws elastic beanstalk or heroku. The reason I say this is that it's great to learn python but it's great to learn about using it in the real world... Again my opinion hope it's useful to you.
