embedding: forcing an interpreter to end

Thanks for the pointer.  After some preliminary
evaluation, I'll probably try to move forward
prototyping with Lua.  I't looks like it will be much
simpler to port and the resulting library will be much
smaller (less than 100kB).  One nice thing about the
Lua C API that I liked is that the interpreter state
is passed in each call.  So, there is no need for GIL
or saving/restoring thread state.  I wish (hope)
Python will move in that direction along with scaling
down more easily for embedded use.

Have you been able to cross compile Python and port it
to ucLinux (or a smaller OS)?  I'd hate to just give
up on Python.  Do you know if there are an embedded
Python SIGs?
