Hello,
This is a library recommendation....
I recently delved back into my Arduino that's been collecting dust. Being familiar with the robust community and reputation Python has, i was sure there would be support for an Arduino. I was shockingly disappointed. Pyfirmata barely works (when it does) and PySerial is simply way too low level to be of any value to Arduino projects.
Point being, the language would definitely be improved with a solid Arduino module that is robust and supported. After all, Python is allegedly marked at being great for "Science" and "Engineering". The Arduino is extremely popular controller for entry level Engineering/Prototyping/Studying and C++ is like learning to read hieroglyphics while blind - its ugly to put it mildly... This would bring some good new eyes to the Python community. Coupling the current powers of Python with the ability to control and Arduino would open endless doors for many.
Something to consider for the big time devs out there!
Back to hieroglyphics ;)
Best regards!
