I have installed WinCE6 on an x86 embedded system, Does pyrthon support x86 architectures, since I realize most PDA/Handhelds use ARM Processors
The releases on the sourceforge website are for Windows Mobile based devices and hence ARM architecture only.
There have been a couple of un-official Windows CE (non aygshell enabled) and X86 releases made at various times. But I wouldn't know where to point you with respect to downloading one.
It's fairly each to switch the source to build for X86 instead of ARM, from memory the only major change required is to switch the libffi library back to the X86 version. If your platform doesn't have the aygshell support included there is also a small amount of GUI editing required to use standard Windows CE style menus etc.
Mainly the lack of X86 realeases has been due to lack of interest / support in such a build. If your Windows CE device has command shell support it is even possible to build the standard python executable (with it's command line support etc).
Hope this helps, Christopher Fairbairn _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
