Interesting.

Interesting. Would want to see this going on actual Android. Especially since I have a few Python GUI projects going which I intend to use on Android (but currently using flet).

Wow, these preassembled ESP32 plus touchscreen boards are extremely cheap, and there are tons of them in all kinds of different form factors on Amazon. I didn't realize this kind of thing was so plentiful, this seems like a great way to bootstrap many kinds of electronics/IoT projects

Looks better than any Python GUI framework I’ve seen..

Love me some MicroPython. Building a product line of small farm security devices that use uPy and MQTT.

Does it run on the CYD? https://github.com/witnessmenow/ESP32-Cheap-Yellow-Display

Does it support the threading module?

how does it compare to https://github.com/wasp-os/wasp-os?

I would love to have this, but Lua not Python.

I'd use it. I'd be curious to see how close to daily driving it is for stuff like calls, SMS, and email. Something not driven by a giant data mining company would be splendid.

Will MicroPythonOS also work with CircuitPython?

Also, there's pipkin: https://github.com/aivarannamaa/pipkin#pipkin :

> Tool for managing distribution packages for MicroPython and CircuitPython on target devices or in a local directory.

> Supports mip- and upip-compatible packages, and regular pip-compatible packages

Hopefully - for 3 types of packages - pipkin supports GPG signatures, PyPI's TUF, and/or sigstore attestations like pip?

Just checked; pip doesn't support checking PEP740 attestations yet either?
