That's not going to be enough for Python (especially Python2).  Python
has lots of small files too, so you need quite a bit of free space (for
both the install and the temporary space to decompress the files).

If you have enough space for the installed part of Python (and I'm not
sure how much that is), then you can probably install it with the nipkg
script.  It's a front-end for ipkg so you can pass command line
parameters to make it decompress to MMC or CF card instead of internal
flash.

I can't remember where I got the nipkg script, but I can mail it to you
if you can't find it. I think it was on ZaurusZone, but I have trouble
with that site so I don't go there much (it's just way too slow and
goofy).
