Yes, I've tried it, but I'm in a similar boat in that I didn't exhaustively
exercise the full stdlib. However, iOS and Android are both Posix. I'm sure
*many* of the extension modules - especially the ones that are purely
data-based, like bz2 - could be compiled. However anything with a UI
element (like tkinter) doesn't make any sense.
