I think your remarks about "people in the scientific and academic
communities" went down the wrong way, giving (or perhaps reinforcing)
the impression that such people live carefree lives and write software
unconstrained by external factors.

Anyway, to keep things constructive, I should ask (again) whether you
looked at tinypy [1] and whether that might possibly satisfy your
embedded requirements. As I noted before, the developers might share
your outlook on a number of matters. Otherwise, you might peruse the
list of Python implementations:
