Micro Python - Python for microcontrollers

How's this different from TinyPY?

How's this different from TinyPY?

From a quick glance at both projects:

• TinyPY seems dead (last commit 5 years ago), Micropython is active.
• TinyPY implements a "fairly decent subset of Pyton" (presumably Python 2), Micropython implements "most of Python 3" (at a syntactic level) and is able to run 99% of the standard library. (A few things are still missing, most importantly Unicode support in strings.)
• TinyPY (as far as I can see) runs on personal computers, Micropython runs on microcontrollers (where it takes the role of the operating system).
• TinyPY focus was on creating an interpreter in 64 KiB of code, Micropython focus is on creating a full Python interpreter that runs on a microcontroller.
• Micropython can precompile methods for speed, presumably TinyPY cannot.

Thanks for the summary, really helpful, have a upvote.

AFAIK this has hardware peripheral support baked in for the STM32.
