Standard fit?

Do the standard raspbian, etc, come with C compiler, assembler and Python interpreter?

GCC depends on the GNU assembler, if you have the former then you will have the latter too.

Raspbian has most of the development tools you will need/want and a few more. (Note that's Raspbian, not Raspbian-lite - which they can all be added too, if needed)

Espeically Python - since the Pi in Raspberry Pi is all about Python and everything the foundation have been releasing for the past 6 years about the Pi has involved Python - it's the new BASIC apparently.

If you have older Pi's and SD cards then it's probably best to downlaod a new version of the Raspbian IMG file and dd/etcher it to an SD card.

Please fix your clock, your quote format and your sig separator :(

Here's an interesting little exercise to try:

sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static

Get the full assembler package from here:

unpack it and do:

sudo cp fasmarm /usr/local/bin

Get some sources from here:

Assemble any of the packages with:

fasmarm -m 262144 kernel7.asm kernel7.img

or kernel.asm or kernel8.asm depending on your Pi.

Prepare the sdcard as described on the site, copy the kernel over and insert the card into your Pi and boot.
