@ -2,7 +2,8 @@ Welcome to the micropython dev wiki!
This is the [MicroPython](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 ARM Cortex-M4 chip (STM32F405RG).
This wiki is to support development of the MicroPython core code and the various ports to new hardware/systems.
The users guide on how to use MicroPython, and all user oriented library and module information, is on the [main Micro Python site](http://micropython.org/).
If you are new to the python programming or want to learn the basics of micropython, check out [[Learn Micropython|Learn Micropython]]. Also check out the [main Micro Python site](http://micropython.org/), where you can find the [forums](http://forum.micropython.org/) where you can ask questions and get help.

### Documentation
* For introduction and tutorials on using MicroPython on Pyboard follow links on http://micropython.org/
* Official documentation is at http://docs.micropython.org
* MicroPython is an implementation of (subset of) Python language, so "Tutorial" and "Language Reference" sections of https://docs.python.org/3.4/ apply. (Note: only few, core library modules are provided with MicroPython, few more may be available as user-installable modules, so "Library Reference" applies only partially).
* Ongoing effort to document [[Differences]] between CPython and MicroPython.
#### The pyb module
This module allows access to the internal peripherals of the microcontroller chip. Initially, the 405RG chip noted above is supported. Support for more microcontrollers may be added in future releases. Documentation: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/pyb.html

### Current Limitations
* 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 full list list of standard python libraries can be found here: [Python 3.4 standard lib](http://docs.python.org/3/library/).
* There are differences between CPython3 (considered to be a reference implementation of the Python3 language) and MicroPython. Documented [[here|Differences]].
