Does it have to be Python?  There are other languages that
are arguably as portable, and certainly more compact.  Lua,
for example, has been ported to quite small devices.  See
http://www.lua.org/ for more on that, but note there are
other options as well.  Python's not the only "free portable
software" around, though it's the best in many ways.
