Works like "python -m venv path" and creates a rudimentary virtual
environment for the Unix port:
- sets MICROPYPATH
- copies the micropython binary to venv/bin/micropython which is in $PATH
- installs mip & mip-cmdline in the venv
Using the venv is the same as for CPython -- source the activate script to
enter, and call the deactivate function to leave.

The libraries in this directory aim to provide compatible implementations of
standard libraries to allow existing Python code to run un-modified on
MicroPython.
Implementation
Many libraries are implemented in pure Python, often based on the original
CPython implementation. (e.g. collections.defaultdict)
Some libraries are based on or extend from the built-in "micro" modules in the
MicroPython firmware, providing additional functionality that didn't need to
be written in C (e.g. collections, socket, struct).
Future plans (ideas for contributors):
Add README.md to each library explaining compatibility and limitations.
