[1] looks interesting [to moi...[ for a few reasons.

a) a Python based IDE for a microcontroller is Most Excellent

b) this device would be a ~cool~ external add-on w/ interface
to Nanonote over serial link.

QUOTE
Pinguino is an Arduino-like board based on a PIC Microcontroller. The
goal of this project is to build an integrated IDE easy to use on
LINUX, WINDOWS and MAC OS X. Arduino is a powerful tool with some
defaults. One of its inconveniences are a no native USB interface on
the chip and its code length.

The IDE of Pinguino is built with Python. An integrated preprocessor
translates specific Arduino instructions directly into C. This
preprocessor reduces the code length and the execution speed. Pinguino
hardware is based on a 18F2550. This chip has an integrated native USB
module and an UART for serial link.

P.S. what is maximum bit rate for Nanonote serial?
        do we have support for ctrl-S cntl-O flow control?
