That depends on how much is your "few". I run python and picogui in my PDA
with a 10Mb flashdisk. My project could be summarized as "a PDA environment
that allows me to write programs in the pda itself", and this is why I wrote
the picogui python client library for.
My python binary (for the pda) has 1.9Mb; you can make it smaller by not
compiling the optionals. (My pda platform does't support dlopen, so I had
to build a lot of things built-in; a typical desktop python binary is below
800k.) The only compiled module you *really* need for pgui is _socket (and
_expat if you want to work with xml, but as Micah, I advise against it).
The (full) library is at 5.4M here; I include only the optimized bytecode
files (*.pyo). By selecting just the stuff you need, which requires about
one day of experimenting, you can bring this below 500k.
That depends on what you want to demonstrate; IMO showing a very readable
script, modifying it in-place with pgedit, and then running it, is
absolutely impressing ;-)
