[PythonCE] python port for embedded linux

[Luke Dunstan]

Hi,

Have you tried just building the normal Python source with your cross compiler? I expect that there would be a lot less porting problems than Windows CE. For the same reason, the main Python mailing list may give you more responses.

  Hi -
   
  We have an embedded device with 8MB flash and 32 MB RAM with ARM 9 processor runining 2.6.XX. kernel. We just used standard linux (Debian) and configured (or hacked it) to suit our needs. I am looking for a python distribution that has the math library, some IPC mechanisms and some string functions. Thats all.
   
  Any pointers on a python distribution for embedded applications is deeply appreciated.
  I have looked at distributions like tinypy etc.
   
  Regards,
  --Ashish
