Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: python-ufl...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:python-uflash
I intend to orphan the python-uflash package. This package currently sits in the Debian Python team and is a dependency of the mu-editor package. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-uflash The package description is: uflash is a utility for flashing the BBC micro:bit with Python scripts and the MicroPython runtime. . It provides two services: . * a library of functions to programmatically create a hex file and flash it onto a BBC micro:bit. * a command line utility (uflash) that will flash Python scripts onto a BBC micro:bit . Several essential operations are implemented: . * encode Python into the hex format * embed the resulting hexified Python into the MicroPython runtime hex * extract an encoded Python script from a MicroPython hex file * discover the connected micro:bit * copy the resulting hex onto the micro:bit, thus flashing the device * specify the MicroPython runtime hex in which to embed your Python code . By default, python3-uflash uses the MicroPython runtime for micro:bit provided by the firmware-microbit-micropython package and which is located at /usr/share/firmware-microbit-micropython/firmware.hex.
