Hi,
Since May 2005 there is a port of python (v2.4.1) for Apple iPod.
Porting was an 'easy' job, the only consideration was how you can
write with a
iPod, ipodlinux [1] people did an interface called iPodRead that
allows you
type into iPod scrolling left or right on the wheel. (This affects to
the file
Parser/myreadline.c, line 47).
Furthermore, is necessary run configure with options: --without-threads,
--without-shared and --with-cxx and build it in a cross-compile
environment
for ARM architecture.
Running make the only problem was the function hypot (umm, like ipod
in the math
module (I don't remember the problem) but i had to change hypot(x,y) to
sqrt(x*x+y*y).
You can see the differences between python original and python ported
source
in [2].
First announce about the port can be found in [3].
More info about this port, cool pictures and binaries & source code in
[4].
