Domesticating applications, OpenBSD style A 2013 Kickstarter project brought us Micro Python, which is a version of Python 3 for microcontrollers, along with the pyboard to run it on. Micro Python is a complete rewrite of the interpreter that avoids some of the CPython (the canonical Python interpreter written in C) implementation details that don't work well on microcontrollers. I recently got my hands on a pyboard and decided to give it—and Micro Python—a try.
