embedding python

[Andrea Fino]

Hi,

I am studying how to get a python 2.3 interpreter running in a small
embedded system ie. 8MB flash ans 32MB ram,

after some search with google on thiw newgroup looks like others already
did this kind of stuff,

Could I have some hints how to proceed, and/or url to read about it?

there is any doc?

Thanks,
Andrea

I compiled Python 2.3.2(alpha2) on uClinux and linked it with libxml2 and
libxslt. This ran on a Arcturus 68K board with 2meg flash and 8meg ram.
Barely fit, was very slow. We abandoned the platform. I've been promised an
ARM board with 64 meg ram (uh, that was 6 months ago). Haven't seen it
arrive yet.

Anyway, it works.. I just cross compiled as part of the uClinux dev chain.
You didn't mention which OS you want.

Yeah, you right sorry about that. It's linux in 2.4 version with the
normal glibc (i don't remenber which version).

I used uClibc and had problems with Posix threads. This was .. about 11
months ago.

If you're using standard glibc than I think you won't have any problems.
