Programming micro:bit with Thonny IDE

Hello,
I am developing a plug-in for Thonny IDE which allows to program micro:bit in MicroPython.
One of the plug-in's key features is that it allows to quickly execute written scripts on micro:bit without flashing.
If user is happy with the result, then the written script can be flashed on micro:bit.
If you are curious and like to try it out then please check out the links below

Hope you get a reply answering your question but it's an old thread, so just in case you need to find other options...
Have you tried using Mu (
https://codewith.mu) with your students. It has a lot of really nice features, and has a standalone version that is generally pretty easy to install even on locked-down computers.
(I used to help run a robotics summer camp for kids that involved teaching micro:bit and we really liked Mu. The plotter feature in particular is excellent)
Thonny-microbit has the really great feature though to run a script without flashing the device, which is great for getting stuff working quickly. That said, if you update the Daplink firmware on your micro:bit the new partial-flash feature is supported by Mu and it's very fast.

Since Thonny 3.2 micro:bit plug-in is included in the main Thonny package.
