Where can I find a tiny python installation (under 2 MB) for an embedded linux system?

The Embedded Python page has details of Python runtimes which work in embedded environments. To reach 2MB you may need to work on reducing the footprint of such installations even further, however.

The Python implementations page has details of a range of implementations, some of which emphasise compactness over full compatibility with Python. -- PaulBoddie 2011-03-26 23:16:51
