Hello,
MicroPython is a lean and efficient Python implementation for microcontrollers, embedded, and mobile systems (which also runs just as fine on desktops, servers, and clouds).
https://github.com/micropython/micropython https://github.com/micropython/micropython/releases/tag/v1.6
There're following major changes since 1.5:
- LwIP module support for embedded TCP/IP networking.
- IPv6 support in the Unix port.
- Beta support for persistent bytecode (similar to CPython's .pyc)
- 64-bit NaN boxing (improved floating-point performance if enabled).
- Support for new official PyBoards PYBv1.1 and PYBLITEv1.0.
- Long int constant folding during bytecode compilation (glad that CPython will catch up in that area thanks to FAT Python project).
- There's a ongoing crowdfunding campaign to fund complete and well-maintained MicroPython port to ubiquitous ESP8266 WiFi SoC, and improve networking and IoT support in MicroPython in general:
