Even if you manage to get it running, it might be very slow. So while I would not want to discourage anyone from getting a PBP, if the reason is "data science tasks under linux with python and jupyter notebook", then I would strongly consider an x86 machine.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot that data science applications will be using x86-specific C/C++ under the hood instead of python. Your front end will work, but everything else might not. That said take a look at the raspberry pi scene for inspiration, I found berryconda (https://github.com/jjhelmus/berryconda) that way and there may be other ARM versions of popular tools.
