Depends how small. An RPi has a full Linux system and can easily run Python scripts; and the pyboard runs a dedicated Python interpreter called MicroPython, broadly compatible with CPython 3.5, I think (some 3.x version, anyhow), albeit with a cut-down standard library. The pyboard is pretty tiny; according to the micropython.org blurb, it has 192KB RAM. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
