Running Python on the Particle Photon

[rpiswag]

I know that the Photon runs wiring which I have never programmed in but I have been programming in python 3 since I was 8. How program my Photon in python 3?

@rpiswag, you can only program the Photon in C++ at this time. Check out this thread:

Micropython on the photon?

Is anybody familiar with the micropython project? It is another kickstarter success, and it’s target platform is almost identical to the spark. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micro-python-python-for-microcontrollers The two projects have very similar goals (making microcontroller programing easy and fun). I personally much prefer programming in python when possible, so this intrigues me. Micropython on a photon wireless stack? Yes please!
