I was wondering if it was possible to fold the python interpreter into some
of my code for use as a scripting language?  I'd want the smallest subset
possible (probably just the basic language plus string commands).  Has
anyone experimented with this?  I'm looking for a target size of under 64K
for the interpreter.

Thanks
