What is MicroPython? - Kyuchumimo/Micro-Joy-Home-Video-Computer GitHub Wiki

MicroPython is a full Python compiler and runtime that runs on the bare-metal. You get an interactive prompt (the REPL) to execute commands immediately, along with the ability to run and import scripts from the built-in filesystem. The REPL has history, tab completion, auto-indent and paste mode for a great user experience.

MicroPython strives to be as compatible as possible with normal Python (known as CPython) so that if you know Python you already know MicroPython. On the other hand, the more you learn about MicroPython the better you become at Python.

In addition to implementing a selection of core Python libraries, MicroPython includes modules such as "machine" for accessing low-level hardware.
