how to create palm apps?

[Chris Somerlot]

Being relatively new to Python, I was wondering what the best means of
creating apps for Palm OS would be? I've checked out the python port to palm
(pippy), but what I really want is to create stand alone apps. The only
thing I can see to do is convert the python code to C and then use the GNU
PRC-tools? Will this work? Any advice for a simpler method?

Thanks
