Well... Nucleus isn't Linux, it is a RTOS.  If it has enough POSIX
interfaces you probably can port python but I wouldn't have thought it
would be easy.  Try to compile python in the cross compiling
environment and see what happens!

However if you are running Nucleus with Linux and want to run python
in the Linux bit of it then I'd suggest to use the packages available
for the Linux side of it.  (Eg if it is running debian then apt-get
install python).
