Module names with and without a "u"
Module names with and without a "u"
In the Micropython documentation, I find very often similar modules which seems to have only a different names. E.g. there is a module utime and time. What is the story behind that?
Re: Module names with and without a "u"
The modules that start with "u" are simplified implementations specific to MicroPython, often not implementing the full library, as defined by Python. They will often have an alias with a name without the "u". This is done so that users can substitute a more complete implementation if needed.
