MicroPython
A lean and efficient Python 3 implementation for microcontrollers
MicroPython is an open-source implementation of Python 3 optimized to run on microcontrollers and constrained embedded systems. It includes a small subset of the Python standard library and supports advanced language features while fitting within 256k of code space and 16k of RAM. It aims to be as compatible with standard Python as possible, making it easy to transfer code from desktop to embedded hardware.
MicroPython compiles a lean subset of Python 3 that runs directly on microcontroller hardware, providing an interactive REPL and standard library modules optimized for constrained environments.
