Convert the Python code to scheme and use LispMe?

Pippy isn't really suitable for writing stand-alone applications. So
you're stuck having to change languages. What you should really do is
check out something like <URL:

development language that looks best to you.

The real problem with Palm development is that the GUI is unique to
Palm, so you can't develop/debug on your desktop. That's making me
consider a Linux PDA.
