Very Cool! I have an AVR board that is just itching to have this installed. I will definitely be in attendance! I'm especially interested in what kind of hardware interfaces you're providing (avr.porta.write(0x34)?) and what kind of simulation environment (if any) exists. -PyConBrianWarner |
PyMite is a flyweight Python interpreter written from scratch to execute on 8-bit microcontrollers. It is a work-in-progress, but is developed enough to run demonstration programs. Because PyMite runs on 8-bit architectures, one should not expect the interpreter to do everything its desktop counterpart can do. However, it's capability is increasing daily. Since PyMite is a re-implementation of Python, written in ANSI C, it also has a few new features: stackless from the start; fast, easy, native function support and a hybrid mark-sweep garbage collector.
PyMite is not yet available for public consumption. The PyMite source will be posted to sourceforge in time for PyCon 2003. PyMite currently compiles to a Linux desktop and cross compiles (using avr-gcc) to an Atmel atmega103.
I would like to know how many people plan to attend this presentation. I would also like to target my presentation as best I can to those people attending. So please add questions/suggestions below; for example:
- I would attend if ...
Will PyMite run on ...
- etc.
