Python for embedded devices?

[Malte Forkel]

I would like to use Python on a router, an Edimax BR-6104K,  running OpenWrt (http://www.openwrt.org). While I probably won't need most of the fancier stuff in Python, serial I/O and threads should be supported.

The router is based on the ADM5120P, has 2MB of flash and 16MB of RAM, so the version of Python 2.5.1 that is part of OpenWrt is probably a litte to big.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Malte
