MicroPython libraries
=====================

The following standard Python libraries are built in to MicroPython.

For additional libraries, please download them from the `micropython-lib repository
<https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib>`_.

Python standard libraries and micro-libraries
---------------------------------------------

The following standard Python libraries have been "micro-ified" to fit in with
the philosophy of MicroPython.  They provide the core functionality of that
module and are intended to be a drop-in replacement for the standard Python
library.

.. only:: not port_unix

    The modules are available by their u-name, and also by their non-u-name.  The
    non-u-name can be overridden by a file of that name in your package path.
    For example, ``import json`` will first search for a file ``json.py`` or
    directory ``json`` and load that package if it is found.  If nothing is found,
    it will fallback to loading the built-in ``ujson`` module.
