    Hi,

    There is no need of smartphones become more powerful to run Python.

    Python runtime was possible on smartphones since at least 2006 with 
PyS60 on Symbian.

    Python runtime, PyGtk, PyQt and hundreds of Python modules :
http://maemo.org/packages/search/?org_maemo_packages_search[1][property]=name&org_maemo_packages_search[1][constraint]=LIKE&org_maemo_packages_search[1][value]=python&org_maemo_packages_search[2][property]=title&org_maemo_packages_search[2][constraint]=LIKE&org_maemo_packages_search[2][value]=same
were and are available on Maemo 5 OS since 2009, running on Nokia N900. 
I have one Nokia N900, I develop for it in Python on device, package 
(.deb) on device, submit to Maemo.org repositories on device, etc.

    Since 2011, MeeGo Harmattan OS (on Nokia N9) also has Python (2.6) 
and many modules :

and Python softwares (using PySide) were accepted in the Nokia Store.

    Nowadays, Python 2.7/3.3 runs on Sailfish OS, with PyQt 5 and 
PyOtherSide available, so there are already some softwares developed 
with them. While Jolla Store (Harbour) is expected to accept 
Python/PyOtherSide softwares in the following weeks.

        Regards,

        Roberto
