Python is too heavyweight to port it to a microcontroller. May be you should give a try to something like lua. http://www.lua.org/ Lua is a lightweight, embeddable programming language. I don't any experience with it, but I've seem people using it in as embedded scripting language. For example lighttpd has a hook to run lua scripts.
