Python may be a bit too resource heavy at the moment, but on the other hand ntk is an extremely new technology, and by the time it takes off you can bet that most APs will have more than enough resources to run stackless python and pyntk. Even now, nearly all newer APs have upwards of 4 MB flash memory and 8 MB RAM, and those numbers are just going up. I really don't think this will be a problem by the time ntk gains popularity. -- - Mike Zink
