Happy New Year !

I've seen somebody citing interest in (simplified) SymPy for
MicroPython (http://micropython.org/) :
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sympy/DZFnaS3lg10/5neXqITdBAAJ
so it would run on 1 million BBC Micro:bit been distributed in UK for
11-12 years old students :
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/microbit
https://www.microbit.co.uk/device
MicroPython for BBC Micro:bit is not officially released, but for
PyBoard (the official hardware to run MicroPython) :
https://micropython.org/store/#/features
there are 94 KB of flash storage + 100 KB of heap RAM for the user.

IMHO, even a very reduced SymPy would be very useful for 1 million
students creating new uses for BBC Micro:bit.

Does anybody is working or planning to work about SymPy on
MicroPython ?

If not, what are the hints to start this porting ?

Best regards,

Roberto

    Ops, I forgot to say Pyboard has microSD reader for cards up to 32GB, where we can put Python and other files. So the main constraint is RAM size in MicroPython.
