my experience, pythonce has been a good way to scribble out and test lit=

<P>I am a new programmer (java), wanting to learn Python, on a pocket =
PC. I =0D
have found a surprising lack of information on this subject on the int=
ernet, =0D
despite several attempts to find clear information. Please forgive me =
if my =0D
questions highlight my ignorance on the subject matter.</P></DIV>=0D
<DIV> </DIV>=0D
<DIV>My questions are:</DIV>=0D
<DIV> </DIV>=0D
<DIV>1) Does the Python environment work on PPC 2002 with an xsca=
le =0D
processor (e.g. Dell Axim X5) - if yes:</DIV>=0D
<DIV>- anyone actually tried this and succeeded? </DIV>=
=0D
<DIV>- any advice on links to installation instructions for this proce=
ssor =0D
& OS or anyone prepared to share their experience?</DIV>=0D
<DIV>2) can Python code actually be programmed AND run on the Pocket P=
C?</DIV>=0D
<DIV>Regards and thanks.</DIV>=0D
