Most of the time importing tkinter failed. Doing a reset was required to
get that working. After a few successful imports, Python itself would
fail to start. Again reset was required. And even when everything was
working, it took 10-30 seconds (it has been a while since I tried) to
start python and for it to start my application. (Once everything was up
the performance was ok, though.)

I should point out that I tried only one specific Python binary on my
device. I know other people have built their own versions, some come
with wxPython etc. so there might actually be a Python version that
works ok on a Windows Mobile device. I think the Venster project
(http://venster.sourceforge.net/htdocs/index.html) supposedly also works
on WM.
