After the 1.0 release maybe you should give it a go! Truy – heh, maybe if you buy me an iphone :) I’ve actually no idea if that would be hard to do or not.

I haven't updated my distro in a while, so most of my packages are out of date. note: valgrind issues resolved by downloading the source and compiling the latest release.

I hadn't heard of it .. it doesn't seem to compile though :( Anyone got any ideas? global.c:112: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules I don't think tinypy would do so well with minimal amount of RAM right now, but I bet someone could create a branch of it that did. pymite looks pretty neat.

Have you done a feature comparison of the two? Is it possible that you could use some of the techniques from PyMite to make a microPython that is closer to standard Python and more generally usable? I ask these questions because it seems that PyMite and tinypy are on the threshold of making Python a viable language for embedded systems development.

It's great to see you are making progress on this bizarre and interesting project. Keep it up! I have been following from the sidelines (via planet python).
