Opening in-game scripting to players through the Python API

Development Modding
1

There are two questions, can I, as the developer of a game do more with Python than just editor scripting and automation? From the API reference it seems that the whole Engine API can be accessed from python scripts. So can i use it for gameplay and AI scripting.?

Also will it be possible to use python for real time, in-game scripting, not just modding?
If both these are possible can anyone also put some light on what the performance implications would be?

I’d like it too. I’ve seen how scripting can extend the community of the game in TableTop Simulator. I would like to know how to do something similar with Unreal.
