The other project you might want to take a look at is pippy: http://pippy.sourceforge.net/. It's python 1.5.2 running on PalmOS. The memory size is quite a bit less constrained that the DePython project, but there might be some useful info. > Does anybody have advice?

At one point I was interested in doing something similar: running Python on an ARM7 w/o virtual memory under eCos in something on the order of 1MB. After looking at the DePython and Pippy sites, I decided it was going to require more work than I could justify. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
