You might try python. As python is an interpreter, calling it up on the fly
works fine. It is very easy to invoke python servers by
python or #!usr/bin/python (command line or as shell script)
import ServerModuleName
call your stuff (scripting)
A basic server module is cgi.py which along with CGIHTTPserver.py is in
the Lib of the standard distributions. They're small:
Directory of ..\Python21b\Lib
CGIHTT~1 PY 10,440 02-09-01 1:41p CGIHTTPServer.py
CGI PY 33,533 03-19-01 10:46a cgi.py
2 file(s) 43,973 bytes
If you need only certain functions or classes XofM from a module Module, you
can import just them with
from Module import XofM
Python has been squeezed onto systems with tight memory.
o Handhelds: both the Psion (8MB memory) and Palm Pilot (has 4MB, 450k
RAM; see pythonjournal.com for description and links). The Palm version
was trimmed (to 123k as .tgz gcc-based binary); regular mini python (a
streamlined version which fits on a floppy), I believe, was put on the Psion.
o The Deeply Embedded project at http://www.abo.fi/~iporres/python/
claims to have python that "runs on the Hitachi SH1 evaluation board, a
32-bit RISC processor with 256 Kb of RAM and no OS, so it probabily runs on
most 32-bit systems with a working GNU Tool Chain." Its 80k .gz appears
ever corrupt, though.
o You can package up your code with python engine with [reduced]
library and all. Usually freeze.py is used, but imputil.py is used for what
is called 'The "small" distribution' of Greg Stein is 9k as small.zip,
http://www.lyra.org/greg/small/ , uses OS.
Python has both binary and source distributions, opensource freeware,
cross-platform, good documentation; see python.org .
Hope to hear it's gone well.
