XPGeek:
Im wondering if anybody has made a python interpreter for rockbox yet, cause i would like to run python scripts on my Sansa Clip v2. And if rockbox has a lua interpreter doesnt that mean that somebody could make a python one?

wodz:
Nobody did this. In theory this should be possible but lua is lightweight compared to python and still pretty slow on rb devices.

XPGeek:
Ok. just wondering, cause it would be cool to run python on a mp3 player, who knows, somebody might make a python interpreter for rockbox with a rockbox flavor of tkinter for gui.

XPGeek:
...or make a patch for the lua interpreter so it can run python code, but you would have to make something lika python mode, cause it could have errors otherwise.

Echo:
I had some experience with cross-compiling python and python packages. They all ended very badly. It is possible to do but very hard. Another thing to consider is that python has a very high memory consumption, something you don't want in low-memory MP3-players.
That being said - If anyone managed to do this, I'll be extremely impressed, althow I don't see why this is necessary, except for the coolnes factor of course :)
