Only few most obvious functions are implemented, several more added with
dummy implementation.
The intention of this module will likely always stay to be able to run
software which depends on this module for exceptional parts (like error
reporting), not to actually inspect objects.

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:
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.
