pycopy-lib VS micropython-lib

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).

This is the current version of my code (excuse the mess it's become..), adapted from https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/7128d423c2e7c0309ac17a1e6ba873b909b24fcc/micropython/bluetooth/aioble/examples/temp_client.py

STM32WB55 running MicroPython sounds like it'd suit. Should be fine for the power budget and aioble gives you one of the best BLE libraries on any platform. Documentation is generally good, though BLE is a little light (with some good examples and an active Discord channel!).

Pico (non-W) doesn't have upip (or mip, as that replaces upip now) or urequests because it doesn't have internet access required by them. In theory, you can download urequests from: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/master/python-ecosys/urequests/urequests.py or build your own MP image with it enabled. I don't know if it'll work as you want it to but it's worth a try.

Using SD-card on ESP8266 was more challenging. upip.install('sdcard') does not work.

But ChatGPT truly helped and suggested I find it in Github.

I don't think there's a mip list command or something like that. So your best bet is to look at the subdirectories in https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib for a list of installable packages.

Do give it another try if you get a chance; I'd be genuinely interested in hearing about your experience. Be sure to check out the awesome list and micropython-lib if you're looking to fill gaps. There are still many holes but they're rapidly being filled in.
