Embedded Python
Python can be used in embedded, small or minimal hardware
devices, depending on how limiting the
devices actually are.
Devices capable of running CPython
Some modern embedded devices have enough memory and a fast
enough CPU to run a typical Linux-
based environment, for example, and running CPython on such
devices is mostly a matter of
compilation (or cross-compilation) and tuning.
Devices which could be considered as "embedded" by modern
standards and which can run tuned
versions of CPython include the following:
Gumstix
Raspberry Pi
BeagleBone Black
FIC Neo1973and Neo FreeRunner( Python on Openmoko)
Telit GSM/GPRS modules (also available as AarLogic
familyGPRS/GPS QUAD Band
Modules)

Work to improve CPython for embedded applications
Various efforts have been made to make CPython more usable for
embedded applications:
Patches in the OpenEmbedded repository
Cross-compilation issues: 1006238, 5404, 3871
General interpreter startup costs: SpeedUpInterpreterStartup
File access overhead on startup: Improving interpreter startup
speed, Tons of stats/opens t
non-existing files increases Python's startup on loaded NFS
servers, Startup time
Import-related costs: __file__
Using a launcher process where "expensive" modules are required:
Introducing python-
launcher
Reduced or reworked Python implementations
Some devices may be more restrictive in that the typical memory
footprint of CPython may exceed theamount of memory available on
the device. In such cases, a re-engineered or adapted version
of
CPython, perhaps even to the point where it can be considered a
new implementation of Python, might
be appropriate.
Examples of such implementations include the following:
PyMite
Tiny Python
Zerynth formerly Viper
On the other hand, one can start with a full build, and simply
remove unneeded modules, e.g., Tkinter,
etc., to realize a reduced-size Python with little effort.
Python-based tools for developing embedded applications
Sometimes the embedded environment is just too restrictive to
support a Python virtual machine. In
such cases, various Python tools can be employed for
prototyping, with the eventual application or
system code being generated and deployed on the device.
Tools that support this kind of development include the
following:
MyHDL
WhatOS
MoinMoin Powered
