tinypy (http://www.philhassey.com/blog/2008/01/31/tinypy-64k-bootstrapped/) is a 64k implementation of a subset of python. It can bootstrap itself into a single executable that can compile python files to bytecode and run them on a VM.

Pretty cool eh? All bloat gone. 64K, like in old times! :-)

Eat that, Java!

It would be cool, if it worked.

What did you need to build it?

I let others to try first such a bleeding edge toys :-)
I just love how tiny it is, and still includes list comprehension and kwargs.

Thanks for tricking me into being a tester...

It will be cool once a bit more work is done. It must not be read for all shells.
