ANN: PyMite release 04

[dwhall]

.. Hello,
..
.. I would like to announce the fourth release of PyMite.
.. PyMite is for 8-bit embedded developers wanting to code in Python,
.. NOT for Python programmers wanting to develop for 8-bit systems
<smiley>.

Purpose
-------

PyMite is a flyweight Python interpreter written from scratch
to execute on 8-bit and larger microcontrollers with resources
as limited as 32 KiB of program memory (flash) and 4 KiB of RAM.
PyMite supports a subset of the Python syntax and can execute
a subset of the Python bytecodes. PyMite can also be compiled,
tested and executed on a desktop computer.

Thanks
