MicroPython Introduction and Standard Library

Introduction

MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language. It includes a small subset of the Python standard library and is optimized to run on microcontrollers and in constrained environments.

MicroPython is packed with advanced features such as an interactive REPL, arbitrary-precision integers, closures, list comprehensions, generators, and exception handling. Yet it is compact enough to run in as little as 256 KB of code space and 16 KB of RAM.

The goal of MicroPython is to be as compatible with standard Python as possible, so you can easily migrate code from the desktop to a microcontroller or embedded system.
