  Description     : MicroPython runtime for the BBC micro:bit

The BBC micro:bit is a small computing device for children. One of the 
languages it understands is the popular Python programming language. The 
version of Python that runs on the BBC micro:bit is called MicroPython.

This package provides a firmware image that can be flashed to the micro:bit 
that provides the MicroPython REPL and the ability to upload Python scripts for 
execution.

The MicroPython firmware uses the yotta build tool for build and dependency 
management, and gcc-arm-none-eabi for compilation.

I plan to maintain this package in the Python Applications Packaging Team.
