Multithreading/ Multiprocessing & other libraries

[gaurav1788]

Hello All,

I'm new to the forum. I have two questions:

(1)
I tried going through the earlier posts regarding this, but last relevant post is from Aug, 2014. I want to know that is it possible to implement multithreading/ multiprocessing to micropython. I posts from 2014 it was written that it will take a long time. It's been long time since then, is it now possible?


(2)
There are some other libraries like sklearn and Pybrain I want to import. Is it possible? If yes, how?

Thanks.

The official method of cooperative multi-tasking is uasyncio. There is support for pre-emptive multi threading in the form of the _thread library but I think this is currently implemented only on the WiPy. uasyncio is the way to proceed for web applications and suchlike where fast response is not mandatory; its timing granularity is currently constrained to one second. Applications requiring faster task switching can use this library https://github.com/peterhinch/Micropython-scheduler.git which implements cooperative multi-threading using Python generators.
