Nevertheless, Python's size and dependencies have not stopped developers from using it. The team developing the iPAQ's Familiar distribution, for instance, includes it as part of their standard packages. Finally, as Klaus explains, you may see some warnings and failures during the build. This is because some libraries and applications are missing on your target. The Tkinter interface to libtk.a and libtcl.a will fail to build, for instance, unless you had cross-compiled and installed Tcl/ Tk for your target. This doesn't mean the Python build has failed. Rather, it is an indication that one of the Python components has not built successfully. You will still be able to install and use the Python interpreter and the modules that built properly on your target.
