MicroPython[3] is a software implementation of the Python 3 programming language, written in C, that is optimized to run on a microcontroller.[4][5] MicroPython is a full Python compiler and runtime that runs on the micro-controller hardware. The user is presented with an interactive prompt (the REPL) to execute supported commands immediately. Included are a selection of core Python libraries; MicroPython includes modules which give the programmer access to low-level hardware.[3]

MicroPython was originally created by the Australian programmer and physicist Damien George, after a successful Kickstarter backed campaign in 2013.[6] While the original Kickstart campaign released MicroPython with a pyboard microcontroller, MicroPython supports a number of ARM based architectures.[7] MicroPython has since been run on Arduino platform based products,[8][9] ESP8266,[10] ESP32,[11] and Internet of things[12][13][14][15] hardware. In 2016 a version of MicroPython for the BBC Micro Bit was created as part of the Python Software Foundation's contribution to the Micro Bit partnership with the BBC.[16]

The source code for the project is available on GitHub.[17]
