Early orders have been filled, more are being filled, but there is a huge backlong and therefore a long wait if you waited til now to order. If you want one right away, at least as of a week or so ago they were going for $200-ish on ebay. The Raspberry Pi is not really appropriate for a low powered portable application anyway, because of relatively high power requirements compared to an 8 bitter without all that media playback stuff. The Beaglebone (www.beagleboard.org) is slightly higher end than the RPi and runs Python nicely, though it faces the same issues. I think a microcontroller (AVR, MSP430 etc) is a better fit for the OP's application than anything big enough to run Python. If C is really intolerable I know there are some micros that can be programmed in BASIC. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
