Brian Lloyd's original PythonCE port:

  http://www.digicool.com/~brian/PythonCE/

Mark Hammond has extended it:

  http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/ce/

PythonCE is stable, even useful for certain tasks,
especially http/ftp communication with your handheld.
The only drawback (IMO) is that a GUI application
will require you to write directly to the Win32/CE
API.  Mark provides an excellent example of how
to do this -- he includes a shell written completely
in Python.
