(Explain different instances, including "Tiny Python 2.5" available here. Relate to pertinent pages, including "Varieties" and EmbeddedPython.)

There have been many "slenderized" Pythons through the years, including

• Deeply Embedded Python - a project which once attracted considerable interest, but seemingly abandoned some time ago

• Jean-Claude Wippler, Jeff Senn, Brian Lloyd and others have worked on tinyPython. One approach is to exploit "executable compressor" UPX: "This gets python15.dll down to 220K and seems to work for me";

• Pippy is Python for the Palm; (link appears dead)
