Is it possible to run micropython scripts loaded from hTTP?

[andrews]

I'm thinking of a C project that embeds a micropython interpreter.

I'd like the C program to load a python script from hTTP or HTTPS and get the micropython intepreter to execute the script

How practical/hard is this?

Any downsides?

Do you mean "loads a .py file from http"?

Hi andrews,

This sort of thing is certainly possible - particularly if you already know how you will retrieve the file via HTTP. There is an example of how to embed MicroPython in a C project here: https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... /embedding

In addition to the 'mp_lexer_new_from_str_len' function there is also 'mp_lexer_new_from_file' so you should be able to start running MicroPython from a file that you store on your device.

This answer should give you what you need.
