No, not a tiny microcontroller environment.  In the
microcontroller world, "tiny" means 100 bytes of ram and 4KB of
code space.  OTOH, if you want to talk about medium-large uC
stuff (hundreds of KB or RAM and code space), somebody did port
and old version of Python to something like that.  Google for
"deeply embedded python".

I doubt it.
