Yep. As an update to the above, I'll probably release a simple subset of Kamaelia to make games run identically on a desktop as on the machine itself. (Hmm... Interesting thought, I can even ramp back the apparent CPU availability transparently to something similar, which would be useful when developing :) > How much RAM does this thing have ? 32Mb - according to free & /proc/meminfo > I'm interested because I ported Python to the Sony PSP, which can run at > 333Mhz and has 32Mo of RAM , and almost no OS overhead.

I must admit personally I wouldn't be interested in python on a PSP because you never know when homebrew code on a PSP is going to be locked out...
