Redirect REPL to a socket

[deshipu]

I know that we are going to get an awesome websocket-based REPL through a web browser, but in the mean time I'm wondering if it would be possible to do something similar to this example from nodemcu, https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firm ... telnet.lua , where you basically get a REPL on a network socket. Is this already possible with the REPL implementation that the current alpha versions have?

This functionality is based on os.dupterm(). The best thing I can recommend now if you're interested in that stuff is to read up on it (in usual places - docs, wiki, bugs, source code (including other ports)) - we really need people knowledgeable in that area. I wouldn't recommend going beyond that for now - the natural way would be us delivering webrepl first, and then you be able to do the above, not the other way around. And it's still WIP.

As a future change notification, dupterm interface will change soon. Please review and subscribe to https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/2208 to stay in loop (if you're interested in this topic of course).
