What makes you say that? The PC version is an emulator that runs the ROM of the hardware 50g. It is subject to the same limitations as the physical machine.

Actually, the PC version, which is called newRPL Desktop, is not an emulator. It is a native Qt application, it merely simulates the screen of the 50g because it was initially created as a testing and debugging tool, but now it's a full application with connectivity kit functionality.
It is configured with more RAM than the ARM version, currently 1MB but I can change it at will.

However, there's nothing RPx in Python, or micropython, so it's completely unrelated, it's a different environment with different requirements, memory management, etc. They don't work well together, and there's no plans to even review the feasibility, much less try to modify micro python to interwork with the RPL environment.
