Hi, Since May 2005 there is a port of python (v2.4.1) for Apple iPod. Porting was an 'easy' job, the only consideration was how you can write with a iPod, ipodlinux [1] people did an interface called iPodRead that allows you type into iPod scrolling left or right on the wheel. (This affects to the file Parser/myreadline.c, line 47). Furthermore, is necessary run configure with options: --without-threads, --without-shared and --with-cxx and build it in a cross-compile environment for ARM architecture.
Running make the only problem was the function hypot (umm, like ipod :) in the math module (I don't remember the problem) but i had to change hypot(x,y) to sqrt(x*x+y*y). You can see the differences between python original and python ported source in [2]. First announce about the port can be found in [3]. More info about this port, cool pictures and binaries & source code in [4].
