Python Newbie. Python on PPC, please assist.

[Byron]

Hi PN,

*From what I understand*, each type of pocket PC has a different CPU 
chip built into it -- which means that you will have to find a compiled 
version of python that is "compatible" with the CPU that your device has.

If the software isn't compiled for your device's CPU, it simply won't 
work...

Hope this helps!
