I have a 5550 that I've been trying off-and-on...  The interpretor
runs, but I'm not much farther than that.  I'm using 2.3 from...
   http://fore.validus.com/~kashtan/
...and "input() & raw_input() for PPC" from...
   http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PythonCE/PythonCEWiki

> - How would i run a script?

I tried once to associate .py and .pyc to Python, but didn't get
anywhere.  After reading all the doc pages on the 'net (maybe two),
I've finally stumbled upon the execfile() command.  From the
interpretor, I type in...

execfile('/storage card/python/scriptname.py')

...and it executes the script.  I just discovered this today, so I'm
not yet past the "hello world" phase.  I'm actually using a note with
my execfile commands, then copy/paste into the interpretor. 
[ctrl][x,c,v] actually works, which saves a ton of typing on the little
keyboard.
