Currently the very little integration with the palm
environment - stdout,stderr print to the screen and 
the input comes from pre-compiled modules.  This will, of course,
change.  For the time being, when the development environment 
is installed, applications can be created from python modules
in a manner analogous to python's freeze mechanism.  The
resulting application, in combination with the python vm (pylib.prc)
can be run on the palm.

Soon, there will be a front-end for interactive use.
