Embedded Systems Python?

[phil]

I developed for my former employee a thin client whose primary purpose
was AS400 connectivity.  This required a fairly complex interactive
gui configuration which I wrote in Python.
This system could also be configed by a remote manager. Wrote
that also in python using UDP sockets.
The hardware was 64Mb memory and 64Mb compact flash.

OS wa 2.4.20 linux from Debian

I did a lot of cleanup removing unneeded modules but
other than that, standard Python 2.3.4
worked great.
