    So, unlike MicroPython itself, which was started by another guy, micropython-lib was started and largely done by me (but initially contributed it to the micropython project, yeah). I continue that work in https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib

    In this version, improvements in native types subclassing support. Pycopy standard library, https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib, also sees further development and improvements.

    Thanks. Except it's not mine, but CPython2's stdlib module (written by many people) ported to Python3.5. What's mine is Pycopy stdlib ucompiler module: https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib/tree/master/ucompiler, written by me from scratch based on the experience with CPython2's module (I figured I'd have better time writing one from scratch than cleaning up CPython2's module).
