11/21/2021, 5:58 PM@louiscad +1, I'm also looking at it right now for my hobby project, so in terms of "want" - I'm in 🙂
We'd need to learn how it differs from the "standard" Python. So far I learned that it's just a subset of Python, in terms that it supports/implements a certain part of the language. No idea what about the libraries.
Quickly thinking, I see no problem with generating MicroPython-compatible simple Python and covering MicroPython and "standard" Python this way. It might be even the case now since I don't recall us generating any fancy Python code.

11/21/2021, 5:59 PMwhen generating AST entities, I assumed Python 3.9, but as I said, in practice we can probably limit ourselves to simple language features

11/21/2021, 6:04 PMThat's about the language itself, and from the libraries point of view, I saw Micropython exposed its own API for accessing embedded peripherals, so it would need to be exposed in Kotlin as typed API
