That was my article.  The closest you can get is python remote control
of Lego mindstorms.  Python can't squeeze into the Mindstorms brick.
I had thought you might be able to use Jython to program for LeJos,
the Java Lego OS, but code compiled with Jython requires a hefty
helper class that won't fit on the brick either.

Jonathan Pennington proposed to create an inexpensive robot that ran
Linux and used Python as a programming language.  You can find his
project on Sourceforge:
