Hi,
Has anyone done any serious work on producing a subset of python's
language definition that would suit it to a tiny microcontroller
environment?
In its full form, python is a resource hog. If a microcontroller
implementation honoured the 'everything is an object' philosophy, the
code would sp

Perhaps a better definition - the term 'scripting language' is
incr

Heh, methinks one might be misunderstanding the Forth culture.
Forth compilers are like poetry, i

Agreed - if one is happy with the costs of java inter-operation, then
jython rocks the house. Otherwise, I could recommend PMW atop Tkinter,
since the python

Pyrex totally rocks. But for the PIC targetting, no can do:

Hi all,
I'm currently tackling the problem of implementing a python to assembler
compiler for PIC 18Fxxx microcontrollers, and thought I'd open it up
publicly for suggestions before I embed too many mistakes in the
implementation.
The easy part is getting the ast, via compiler.ast. Also easy is

Hi,
Does anyone know of a python source parser program which can return the
parsed source file as a coherent dom-like data structure?
I'm playing around with ast, and the output of ast.tolist(), but it's
got a lot of chaff, and would need a lot of hacking to break it down to
simple data structure
