micropython-lib is a highly experimental community project.
Please help to drive it to just "experimental" state by testing
provided packages with MicroPython.

micropython-lib
===============
micropython-lib is a project to develop a non-monolothic standard library
for MicroPython. Each module or package is available as a separate
distribution package from PyPI. Each module is either written from scratch or
ported from CPython.
Note that the main target of micropython-lib is a "Unix" port of MicroPython
(additional ports to support are to be determined). Actual system requirements
vary per module. Though if a module is not related to I/O, the module should
work without problem on bare-metal ports too (e.g. pyboard).
Usage
-----
micropython-lib packages are published on PyPI (Python Package Index),
the standard Python community package repository: http://pypi.python.org/ .
On PyPi, you can search for MicroPython related packages and read
additional package information.
To install packages from PyPI for usage on your local system, use the
`pip-micropython` tool, which is a simple wrapper around the standard
`pip` tool, which is used to install packages for CPython.
The `pip-micropython` tool can be found in `tools` subdirectory
of the main MicroPython repository (https://github.com/micropython/micropython).
Just install the `pip-micropython` script somewhere on your `PATH`.
Afterwards, just use `pip-micropython` in a way similar to `pip`:
~~~~
$ pip-micropython install micropython-copy
$ micropython
>>> import copy
>>> copy.copy([1, 2, 3])
[1, 2, 3]
~~~~
Review the `pip-micropython` source code for more info.
Development
-----------
To install modules during development, use `make install`. By default, all
available packages will be installed. To install a specific module, add the
`MOD=<module>` parameter to the end of the `make install` command.
