Welcome to the micropython dev wiki! Welcome to the micropython dev wiki!
This is the [Micro Python](http://micropython.org/) project, which puts an implementation of Python 3.x on a microcontroller or embedded system. The project also includes a small [microcontroller board](https://github.com/micropython/pyboard) based around the STM32F405RG chip.

This wiki is to support development of the Micro Python core code and the various ports to new hardware. This wiki is to support development of the MicroPython core code and the various ports to new hardware.

If you have a machine that runs some flavor of Unix, see the [[Getting-Started]] instructions on how to obtain the binary to run MicroPython and start developing. MicroPython can also built on MacOSX and Windows.

* The entire set of standard python libraries is **not** supported. If a module is missing it will be due to the inapplicability of that module for use in an embedded controller. High memory consumption (e.g. sqlite3) or a lack of a certain required hardware feature (e.g. multiprocessing) are reasons that some modules can not be implemented for some microcontrollers. * The entire set of standard python libraries is **not** supported.
