is it possible to write external C library, save compiled file as SomeFile.so and call it from a python?
Something like plugins or libraries
Other words move trash outside micropython core and reduce its size with more ussage flexibility
DHT
cc3000
lcd160cr
....

import SomeFile
SomeFile.SomeMethod()

I'm not sure what the current status is, from a search on github there have been at least 3 different implementations providing some kind of support for this:
- https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/1627
- https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/3311
- https://github.com/stinos/micropython/c ... 857d4c1b54

No working howto examples found.

Dynamically loadable native object code is definitely a feature that MicroPython wants to have, it would be very useful

Did you try and build the modx sample included in 1627?
Or build https://github.com/stinos/micropython-w ... r/Makefile, which definitely works? (it builds a .so from tests/module.cpp then runs micropython on a bunch of test files which all load import from the .so)
