Python for ARM7?

Yep, that should work.

Don't know.

Why? You can extract the files just fine on any ARM machine. It's the
code in the binaries that you can't execute on anything but ARM. Just
extracting some files can be done on any system.

Sure, just use a live CD.

As I said: you can extract the files even without ipkg. Just untar
them and take a good look at the contents. You'll figure it out.
