Re: [Distutils] Trove classifiers for MicroPython?
Is this the right place to ask for this? It has been over four months already, and there is no action on this. Perhaps there is some more official way to request this that I am missing?

I'm sorry for a delay, but I'm not subscribed to this list, and I didn't receive the reply to my address.

It is possible to bytecode-compile modules into .mpy files, but those are compatible across all platforms, as far as I can tell (but not across all versions). On the other hand, the platforms themselves are not always perfectly compatible, even though there is an ongoing effort to bring them closer together, and to make most libraries work on all of the platforms without modifications. The Micro:bit platform is a kind of an outlier, since its default libraries are considerably different from those on other platforms (presumably to make them it easier to teach) -- which means that practically all hardware-related libraries need a separate micro:bit version. The PyBoard platfrom has as "pyb" module, retained for backwards compatibility, that is specific to it, side by side by the more general "machine" module, that is present on all platforms (except for the micro:bit) and which should work the same everywhere. In addition, different boards have different capabilities. The WiPy and ESP8266 boards have on-board WiFi and networking libraries, the PyBoard and micro:bit have an accelerometer, the WiPy lacks support for floating point numbers, etc. -- Radomir Dopieralski ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

Are there actual binary wheels being uploaded which compiled for specific boards? Or is it that the packages depend at runtime on board-specific features?

[Distutils] Trove classifiers for MicroPython?
Hello everyone, I'm not sure this is the right place to write to propose new trove classifiers for PyPi -- if it's not, what would be the right place? If this is it, then please read below. The MicroPython project is quickly growing and becoming more mature, and as that happens, the number of 3rd-party libraries for it grows. Many of those libraries get uploaded to PyPi, as you can check by searching for "micropython". MicroPython has even its own version of "pip", called "upip", that can be used to install those libraries. However, there is as of yet no way to mark that a library is written for that particular flavor of Python, as there are no trove classifiers for it. I would like to propose adding a number of classifiers to amend that situation: For the MicroPython itself: Programming Language :: Python :: Implementation :: MicroPython For the hardware it runs on: Operating System :: Baremetal Environment :: Microcontroller Environment :: Microcontroller :: PyBoard Environment :: Microcontroller :: ESP8266 Environment :: Microcontroller :: Micro:bit Environment :: Microcontroller :: WiPy Environment :: Microcontroller :: LoPy Environment :: Microcontroller :: OpenMV I'm not sure if the latter makes sense, but it would certainly be nice to be able to indicate in a machine-parseable way on which platforms the code works.
