MicroPython packages

[liudr]

I am running the unix port of MicroPython. I needed packages such as machine etc. so I was looking on the internet. It turns out that MicroPython has a script called upip.py and I was able to install packages on this list:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction= ... mit=search

So my question is: are these packages only meant for the unix port or how can I tell if I can use them on a particular port, such as ESP32 or ESP8266?

If some of these work on other ports, then how do I use upip to import the packages, say on an ESP32 system?

You should be able to run upip on the ESP32 directly if it has access to the internet. Failing this, you'll find micropip in here. This can pull a package onto your PC for transfer to the device.

How do I run it on ESP 32? Some sort of important command? Thanks.

First read the micropython-lib docs. Having located your package - say 'micropython-bar' - on PyPi you should be able (after connecting your device to the internet) to do:

Code: Select all

>>> import upip
>>> upip.install('micropython-bar')
