Is there any way i can control the Pico's REPL using the desktop version of Python?

[Kavyansh]

I wanted to play with the Pico's REPL using the desktop version of python, and am still curious how the Thonny IDE allows us to use the REPL, I would appreciate any kind of reply.

Thanks,

Sure - the REPL is jsut a serial port that you can send stuff to/receive stuff from.

rshell also works by sending commands to the serial port (and runs using the desktop version of python).

It would help to know what types of things you're wanting to do.

Sorry for the late reply; I would be wanting to make something like a driver which just transfers some information through the "input" function, because i dont have a ESP-01 available as of now
Thanks
