Once upon a time there was a project called "deeply embedded
python" that consisted of a drastically stripped down version
of 1.5.1 that was intended to run on things like old PDAs
running PalmOS.  That project has been dormant for quite a
while, but it's the only thing I know of that might be relevant.

I'm not sure if those two links refer to the a same project
or not...
