MicroPython [1] is a lean and fast[peacock prose] software implementation of the Python 3 programming language that is optimised to run on a microcontroller. It was originally created by the Australian programmer and physicist Damien George, after a successful Kickstarter backed campaign in 2013. In 2016 a version of MicroPython for the BBC Micro Bit was created as part of the Python Software Foundation's contribution to the Micro Bit partnership with the BBC.

The source code for the project can be found GitHub.[2]
