I know nothing of running Python on WinMob devices, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be possible. However MS doesn't, as far as I know, support it or provide any tools/sdks/ecosystem services. Apple has its own rather closed ecosystem for iPhone support, but as everyone knows there is a vigorous hacker community doing unofficial things with them. However, I'm not aware of any python activity. Most mobile Python activity is in the nokiasphere; there is a Nokia- backed version of Python for S60 devices, which is fully supported, includes Python libs that wrap the devices' native functionality up to and including N95 accelerometers, and has a desktop mobile device emulator for convenience. However, wxPython wouldn't really be relevant as pyS60 includes its own native GUI toolkit, appuifw; no reason why you couldn't install the module and try, though, but using appuifw does ensure that your GUI will look like all the other stuff on the phone. It won't, of course, work on your PC. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
