Running phyton on 50Mips RISC doable?

[Cor]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if I should use Python for my embedded
application that needs some scripting.
It is an application with 50Mips Risc processor, with little
(and slow) memory. So when I want to run the python interpreter
on this machine, will it be terrible slow? And more inportant: how
mauch memory will I need? a few K? a few hondred K?
Is it difficult to port the code such that it will run on this machine?
(It uses gcc compiler)

I hope anybody can give me any idea about this?

Thanks, Cor Jansen.
