Well... you've reached a valid and current mailing list (mirrored to the comp.lang.python newsgroup), and there's plenty of activity here. But I don't know if anyone here uses WinCE, nor if anyone has the exact version of hardware you're using. So it's probably easiest to just set the previous post aside and start fresh, with details like: 1) What version of Python are you trying to install? 2) What version of Windows? (You already answered that, above; according to Wikipedia, the MobilePro 770 came with WinCE 2.11, so I'm guessing that's been upgraded.) 3) What happens when you try to install? I don't think Win CE is an officially-supported platform, so it's entirely possible you'll have problems with the standard installers. There is, however, a dedicated third-party port at http://pythonce.sourceforge.net/ , which I found by simple Google search for 'python wince'. That might help you, and if not, come back with more info and maybe someone can help out. Good luck! I'm pretty sure "WinCE" is appropriately named after the facial sign of distress.
