Hi Isaac,
        You might be interested in PyMite - 
http://python.fyxm.net/pycon/papers/pymite/ 
although I don't know much (anythin? :-) about it.

For on board control there are some tiny embedded computers out there that can 
run 
Linux etc. (and hence Python) these days - e.g. see 
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8498487406.html or you could use a much 
simpler 
processor such as a PIC to implement a simple serial port to dgital and 
analogue IO 
module.

Either way, plent to do :-)

Cheers,
cds
