MicroPython is included in upcoming Fedora releases

Post by pfalcon » Thu Apr 28, 2016 6:49 pm

From https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/1982 :
Just as a heads up, I've packaged micropython in Fedora.

It's in the main repositories for Fedora 24 (which is currently Alpha) and Rawhide (what will be F25+).

All you need to do is:
sudo dnf -y install micropython

Pushing to Fedora is an easy meal. We do need an Debian maintainer!

But jokes aside... "Great!"

Very nice!!!

Will it be possible then control hardware, in future? Or it is already?
I ask because I like the idea to use MicroPython on a Target(e.g. RaspberryPi) where Linux/Android running. And I have the possibility to import Hardware-Libs to control peripheral like Pin/UART/ADC.
Bad idea? Is it overloaded to integrate it in the Linux environment?

Micro Python is already part of the piCore Linux base system since release 7.0 on the Raspberry Pi see

There will be a module to support RPi peripheral devices later on.
