Some of it is, some isn't. I'm not sure how you'd go about modifying
the image on the fly. Maybe you could write the image, then mount the
image and modify the network settings, or perhaps create a run once
program to assign a static IP according to the MAC address the first
time it boots up.

The python libraries should already be installed before taking the
image.

Please note: dd will cheerfully write over any /dev/sdX device,
including devices you care about without warning. Double check that
sdX is the device you want, and not the device that contains your home
directory. You've been warned.

Taking an image:
sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdX  of=my-custom.img

Writing it out:
sudo dd bs=4M if=my-custom.img of=/dev/sdX

Checking your work. Use sha256sum to check that that the SD card
accurately created. The sum for the image can be stored in a file,

sha256sum my-custom.img > my-custom.sha

and then check that against the output of

sudo sha256sum /dev/sdX

BBB? BeagleBone Black? I don't think they can run a pi image. I might
be wrong, and it won't hurt to stick a pi SD card and see if it will
boot. I expect it will fail spectacularly.

As far as making large quantities of SD cards, that's going to be
painful, either in time or in money. My first thought would be to get
on a linux machine with plenty of USB ports, then get some of these

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0028R3NCU or these
https://www.amazon.com/Doinshop-Useful-T-Flash-Memory-Adapter/dp/B00N8PAHC0

load up $x number of usb ports, open up $x number of terminal windows,
and then issue $x number of "dd .. of=/dev/sd$y" were $y corresponds
to each of the usb adapters.

Then go make a caffeniated beverage, go get food, take a nap, etc, and
come back in a while and see if they've finished. I'd probably go with
a script to also automatically check the sha256sums and give you an
okee-dokee when it is finished.

I looked at amazon to see if they had SD duplicators, and they do. But
they're in the US$550 range for 7 at a time.
