Hola,

A couple of days ago I got my hands on a beta of PiratePython from Pimoroni, a massively cut down Raspbian for the Pi ZeroW that is used more like MicroPython (but with full Python3). The tiny OS runs off of a very small RAM disk so is more robust to the power being yanked. 

But, I found it only had WiFi support.   As the custom kernel still had Bluetooth built in but the OS had no sign of user land bluez or BCM firmware I did what you might expect, and got beacons and scanning working in pure python :)

It motivated me to get bleson moving which I have so in the next day or so I will commit what I have. 

I've got no confirmation bleson will be included, but I would like it to be included in the RAM disk image along with bluezero as the user facing API so its there at power on.   

Once you can see the bleson api it would be vurra nice to have a go at bluezero using it.   I made a fork to have a go but don't think I am best placed, or have the time, to make the bluezero side changes. 

Thanks
Wayne
