Palm Python?

[Jeff Collins]

I'm currently porting a 1.5.2+ (soon to be 1.6) to the Palm.
Hopefully, I'll be making an announcement soon.

The Python VM is contained within a single GLib shared library.  Palm
apps are built using a freeze-like mechanism; a small wrapper
application loads and initializes the interpreter and the main python
module (stored as an application resource) is executed.

I'm unfamiliar with Jini and KVM - is a KVM application seperate from
a palm application?  Perhaps you could provide a few more details
off-line.
