is primarily trying to expose a nicer syntax for chunkier-microcontroller style projects. | |||
It's basically a reduced implementation that is largely compatible with py3, | |||
and gives you | |||
* a bytecode compiler | |||
* a runtime interpreter of such bytecode | |||
* an interactive prompt (on board e.g. exposed via serial) | |||
* some of the standard library | |||
* some specific low-level libraries | |||
It uses on the order of | |||
* 256k of code space and | |||

Mainline implementations exist for | |||
* ARM Cortex-M (e.g. STM32 boards like Teensy, nRF series, SAMD21, SAMD51), | |||
* ESP8266, ESP32, | |||
* 16bit PIC | |||
RP2040? | |||

CircuitPython is a fork of MicroPython, | |||
designed to be a little easier, e.g. editing over USB, BLE | |||
?? | |||
Circuitpython is also available as a library running on linux (e.g. under installed linux on Pi, rather than bare-bones) | |||
