There have been many “slenderized” Pythons through the years, including

  • http://www.tinypy.org/ New (as of 04/2008) from-scratch implementation

  • this FTP directory of generations for MS-DOS, OS/2, and so on;(link appears dead)

  • 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”;

  • [Explain Pyco and PythonD ];
