The machine.sleep() function can be misleading because it clashes with time.sleep() which has quite different semantics. So change it to machine.lightsleep() which shows that it is closer in behaviour to machine.deepsleep(). Also, add an optional argument to these two sleep functions to specify a maximum time to sleep for. This is a common operation and underlying hardware usually has a special way of performing this operation. The existing machine.sleep() function will remain for backwards compatibility purposes, and it can simply be an alias for machine.lightsleep() without arguments. The behaviour will be the same. |

MicroPython Documentation
The MicroPython documentation can be found at: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/
The documentation you see there is generated from the files in the docs tree: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/docs
Building the documentation locally
If you're making changes to the documentation, you may want to build the documentation locally so that you can preview your changes.
Install Sphinx, and optionally (for the RTD-styling), sphinx_rtd_theme, preferably in a virtualenv:
pip install sphinx
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
In micropython/docs, build the docs:
make html
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/html/index.html.
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make latexpdf
but require rather complete install of LaTeX with various extensions. On Debian/Ubuntu, try (500MB+ download):
apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra
