[PythonCE] Python CE on a Intel XScale industrial device.

Hello,

I'm doubting the problem comes from the processor type, as you were able to
run the Python 2.2 port which is also compiled for arm. Unfortunately 
CeGCC support only arm platform yet (the two cross-compilation targets 
available are arm-wince-cegcc and arm-wince-mingw32) so I'm afraid it 
wouldn't be of any help if arm code wasn't compatible with xscale 
processor (which I'm doubting).

I'm suspecting more there is another constraint specified in the .inf 
file used to create the PythonCE cab that prevent installing on your 
device, but I don't see now what it could be exactly.

I suggest you to try to make a "hand-made" install by copying the 
\Program Files\Python 25\ dir from another install to your device and 
see if you could run python.exe.

Hope it helps,
Alexandre
