Uhh ... actually Python CE is exactly what I'm after ;-)
Maybe this is just me being clueless, but AFAIK the source code for Python
2.2 on www.python.org won't compile on CE. Or is it just the version of
the dev tools that I'm using? I'm using eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 and
targetting CE 2.11 (2.12?) on MIPS (+ emulator).
The closest thing to what I'm after is Mark Hammond's original port (at http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/ce/old.html), however that's only
version 1.5.2, which is pretty out of date now.
Mark's CE page (http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/ce/) says that
the project has moved to MurkWorks
(http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PocketPCPython/Overview). The
only problem is that the MurkWorks page only has a binary for StrongARM,
and I'm using a CE machine (a custom system) with a MIPS processor.
I guess the question I should be asking is:
Does the Python 2.2 source code on www.python.org compile under
the latest CE development tools?
and if the answer there is 'no':
Does anybody have a port of Python 2.2 to CE 2.11 (that is, one
that compiles under eVC 3.0)?
Thanks,
