What's the smallest/cheapest/lowest-power hardware platform I can run Python on today? I'm looking for something to use as a hardware controller in a battery-powered device and want to avoid writing in C for this project.
Performance requirements are minimal. I need to monitor a few switches, control a couple of LEDs and relays, and keep time over about a 30 minute period to 1/10th second accuracy. Nice-to-have (but not essential) would be a speech synthesizer with a vocabulary of maybe 50 words. The Rasberry Pi certainly looks attractive, but isn't quite available today. Can you run Python on an Arduino? Things like http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7250 are more than I need, and the $129 price probably busts my budget. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
