How to experience python on a handheld, tablet, etc on linux?

[stateslave]

Without buying first? 

I'd like to run the front end of all these new devices,
on my PC and program in python, to assess which is the
best on for me. pre-test python scripts before cross
loading onto the device I finally buy.

Is that possible? It would also be nice to have some of
the look and feel on a PC of these devices anyway, with
python of course. 

Has that be done yet? 

Any hints? Cheers in advance.
