The standard uclinux-dist comes with python, so it's pretty much just a question of memory. Asking on the uclinux mailing list will probably be more useful, but I would guess that 64MB would be plenty -- especially if use JFFS to put your root filesystem in flash instead of in RAM. Of course it depends entirely on what else you want to do with that RAM at the same time... > Try & check out the gumstix software repo.

IIRC, all you have to do is "make menuconfig", go to the user apps page and check the "Python" box, and then "make". It should "just work". -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
