pycopy VS micropython-lib

Oh, so you're interested to get 100 tomes of technical drawings for SpaceX? You may be out of luck with it, but with any open-source project you're in luck - source to answer all of your questions is right there ;-). https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy in this case. There's also the testsuite which formally specifies everything Pycopy can do (coverage 97%): https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy/tree/master/tests . Finally, the docs include the section on specific differences with CPython3.4: https://pycopy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/differences/index.html (but that's human-written, so definitely not complete). By the way, docs are 381 pages rendered as a PDF: https://pycopy.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/ .

Really? Here's direct link to the closest subsection header: https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy/#the-unix-version , and quoting it here for you:

Well, here it is: https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy/blob/master/py/vm.c#L367

https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy/tree/v3.5.0 (if you prefer to drop people into the code, since the release URL does not contain release notes)

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.
