can a cut-down Python still be Python?

[The Eternal Squire]

All,

Regardless of the technical difficulties involved (and I know they are
legion), I am considering developing a very limited subset of Python
fit to run on embedded systems using 80188 or 68332 microchips.   My
main question regarding this is:  even if I am successful, would the
results be rejected out of hand by y'all as not meeting the Zen of
Python?

Please advise,

The Eternal Squire
