changes of the code-base, including project-wide name changes and API
changes.
Micro Python implements entire Python 3.4 syntax (including exceptions,
"with", "yield from", etc.). Following core datatypes are provided:
str (no Unicode support yet), bytes, bytearray, tuple, list, dict, set,
array.array, collections.namedtuple, classes and instances. Builtin
modules include sys, time, and struct. Note that only subset of
Python 3.4 functionality implemented for the data types and modules.
See the repository www.github.com/micropython/pyboard for the Micro
Python board.
Python board, officially supported reference electronic circuit board.
Major components in this repository:
- py/ -- the core Python implementation, including compiler and runtime.
