Is anyone using Python for embedded applications?

[Andre Meyer]

Not sure what your target embedded platform is, but there is a Python
version for the Nokia S60 mobile phone platform (Symbian).

http://s60.com/

Python for S60<http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/ee447e84-2851-471a-8387-3434345f2eb0/Python_for_S60.html>
Python for S60 allows developers to execute Python commands and run Python
scripts and applications in devices based on S60 Platform. In addition,
developers can execute Python commands and scripts in the emulators of S60
Developer Platform SDKs. Development starts with an interactive console in a
S60 compatible device where Python commands can be executed.

previously aware of. - Douglas Adams
