[Python-Dev] help for a noob - version for a sharp ARM

I'm looking for advice on stripping down Python for an SBC to run Numpy and Scipy. I have the following notes on the system

We have code that requires recent versions of Numpy and Scipy. The processor is a 32 bit Sharp ARM Sharp LH7A404 32 bit ARM922TDMI with 32MB of SDRAM. 512 MB flash disk - but 400 MB is reserved for data The OS is Linux only a tty interface is used.

Does anyone have a feel as to whether Python for Arm is the correct starting point? What modules can I safely add/strip out?
Will Python take more than 5-6 seconds to load? Will old Python releases, like 1.5.x, work with newer Numpy and Scipy?

Thanks! a Fred
