Google Assistant/ Alexa SDK on LE9?

Now that we are nearing Leia release, would below instructions suffice to install GA on LE9 (currently I have balbes S905 build from Nov 28):

How to get Google Assistant on your Windows, Mac, or Linux Machine

I am assuming LE/Kodi already has the requisite Python framework. Or do we need additional instructions given LE is a RO JeOS?

How about for Alexa integration? Here I am only talking about the search/ Q&A part, not the KODI /apps access part, which is more Android TV OS.

I am thinking that a USB webcam or USB speaker/mic would do the voice job here.

LE has zero support for Python3 until after Kodi forks the K18 release branch and Kodi master branch becomes K19 which will switch to Python3. Until then it would be easier to have a Raspberry Pi "nearby" in the network where installing the requirements will be simple. As long as it can see the Kodi device on the network it can be controlled via the Kodi JSON-RPC API.
