- catwell 9y agoThe Python ecosystem is basically irrelevant to embedded programming. What you need is things like [1] or maybe [2]. Lua has them because it's been the dynamic language of choice for this domain for years (with Lisps and Forths as its main competitors). Now we see new challengers like micropython, mruby and jerryscript / iotjs, it will be interesting, but they're clearly not the mainstream choices for embedded.
