# About Micropython
# About MicroPython
MicroPython is a Python interpreter (with partial native code compilation feature). It provides subset of Python 3.4 features, implemented for embedded processors and constrained systems.
This means that micropython is *very close* to python, but is missing a few of the features.

## Learning python
Python is an easy to learn, well documented programming language. Learning python is the first step to learning micropython. It is recommended that you learn python 3.4 or greater, since that is the version that micropython is based off of.

**Tutorials:**
- [standard python documentation](https://docs.python.org/3.4/) -- standard python documentation, start with the [Tutorial](https://docs.python.org/3.4/)
- [learn python the hard way](http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/) -- a certain style of learning that works well for many people. The "learn by doing" approach.

## Diving into micro-python
Now that you have learned the basics of python, it is important to review the [[Differences to CPython|Differences]] wiki page. Micropython supports surprisingly large part of the python language including numeric types, strings, tuples, lists, dictionaries, classes (with inheritance) and many more. However, it's "batteries included" philosophy is reduced in order to keep everything small, with the standard library modules being supported in [micropython-lib](https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib)

### pyboard
The pyboard is the official implementation of micropython on a microcontroller chip. Support for more microcontrollers and platforms is ongoing and listed at [[Boards Summary|Boards Summary]]

#### The pyb module
This module allows access to the internal peripherals of the microcontroller chip on which micropython is implemented, such as pins, ADC, pwm, timers, I2c and other peripherals.
