Take a look a Python for the Palm
(http://www.isr.uci.edu/projects/sensos/python/release_a1.tgz).  The
Parser, etc. has been stripped along with some builtin objects.  I
also created the new exception MissingFeatureError, which all removed
standard builtin functions raise when called.  The code is a work in
progress - there are still opportunities for further reduction.
