I decided it was probably a good lesson to cross-compile python myself, so I did, which was kind of messy. But, I got it working, with the necessary modules.

For the record, I was trying to get a simple RSS library working, for a little project I'm working on. I think it required md5 (for whatever reason, never really looked into why), and I wanted some stuff from the time module. It turned out the RSS library also needed PyXML so I had to cross-compile that aswell, although that wasn't half the work compared to python. I should mention that practically everything I did was copy-pasted and adapted from a blog that described cross-compiling Python and PyXML.

Once I got the python working with PyXML everything worked really smoothly. I think python will be my language of choice for any coming projects on the Iliad.

Really a most awesome initiative, helch.
