It may be old but if the description of the memory footprint is correct then it looks to be the smallest implementation which has some value in memory constrained applications.

IIRC PyMite (another name for this project) was a subset of the Python 2 language and had to be fed special bytecode. It wasn't an interpreter of any form of Python we'd recognize. It hasn't been actively developed for a decade. While MicroPython/CircuitPython is much bigger (smallest system that's useful would be a 256 K flash/32 K RAM Cortex-M0) it's a fair subset of Python 3 with REPL and library support. The best value is definitely on ESP8266 boards, where you get a fully wifi-capable embedded appliance for under $5. MicroPython runs on many targets, including generic Unix and even bare-metal on a Raspberry Pi Zero. Stewart
