I haven't done it myself but have considered it. For one project (cancelled before a real choice had to be made) I basically decided CPython was too big for the application, both in memory footprint and the amount of code in the interpreter that would have to be audited and maintained. Among other candidates, one of my favorites was Hedgehog Lisp: http://hedgehog.oliotalo.fi/ It's much smaller and simpler as Python, though with nowhere near as many creature comforts. Another possibility was a small JVM. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
