How Do We Make A SNES Emulator (using python) ?

You start by understanding the hardware. Emulation is basically simulating the hardware of the device.
SNES is pretty complex for a first emulation project. I'd recommend with the classic CHIP-8 Emulator. Plenty of games to test it out on too.
Here's a Python tutorial for
CHIP-8.
Once you've done that you can use this SNES documentation as a good reference.
Like all software projects, start small and work your way up. Good luck!
I haven't really tried to make an emulator but I know that to make a SNES emulator, you'll need to completely reverse engineer a real SNES and implement all that logic in python.
Well someone has already tried it... github.com/JonnyWalker/PySNES
well for co-op, yes, it'll be a nice learning experience I guess...
It's such a big question, my advice, research a smaller piece of an emulator and ask about that, then choose a language and then assemble a team with at least the start of a plan.
Assuming Python is still the right choice, the pysnes repo in the other comments my vht be a great starting point, just fork it and start to reverse engineer it.
