I must develop a project that will run on a pda with an embedded linux
distribution, we didn't choose the platform yet, but it will probably
be a iPAQ or a zaurus. I feel very good with wxPython, so I would like
to use it for my project.
The project won't be very complicated for the GUI part, only simple
widgets like wxTextCtrl, wxListCtrl, buttons... but there's a huge
amount of data to process.
Can wxPython run on such platforms ? I hope so
Is wxPython suitable for such a project ?
Anybody already tried it ?
What about performances and memory consuming on such platforms ?

Probably, but no one has done the work yet to make it so. It won't work with the QTopia UI that is used on those devices (because there is no wxQT port) but since X11 can be run on them that would be a path that could be taken. If you don't want to have the overhead of having the GTK libs also installed on the device then it would also require getting wxPython to build and work with the wxX11 port, but that shouldn't be too big of a task.

The processors are fairly speedy these days, so it probably won't be an issue. You will probably have memory crunch though, depending on how much of the internal RAM is used as file system and how much is available for programs.

Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters? Relax with wxPython!

I'll give it a try.

Yep, this is the main issue...
I'll give feedback if I manage to cope with it.
