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.[2] 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.[3]

The source code for the project can be found GitHub.[4]
