@Sciss Go here to install Python 3.8. https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-python-3-8-on-debian-10/
It should be pretty much the same on your Debian 11.

Hi, Just tried to install Mu via Pip (running python 3.10 on windows 10) and received the message "Syntax error: invalid decimal literal" with the caret pointing at the 0b7 section of the command. tried typing in and then copied/pasted directly. currently unable to download and install directly.
Hmm.... and you're typing this into your cmd terminal with a virtualenv active..?
Hello, I'm new here and I think the project is very good. I have a problem. I used the ESP32 with Micropyton (MP) on a Macbook. (MacOS 12.1 Monterey, ESP32 MP firmware 1.17)
A connection to the ESP32 works.
Firmware installation works.
REPL operation works.
Only file transfer does not work for me.
I don't see the files on the ESP32.
I don't see the files from the computer either.
After being prompted to briefly remove the USB port,
the MU Editor crashes.
PS: Sorry for my English, I'm from Germany.

New Mu Win10 user and the editor will run fine for me as long as the installer launches it. When trying to RE-launch it does nothing, no entries in windows app, system, or security event logs. Windows Defender flags no apps or violations. The mouse pointer indicates activity for maybe half a second, then nothing. I've reinstalled three times and it runs at install completion using the installer check box, but it won't restart using app created file shortcut or the .exe directly. I've searched the Mu install folder but can find no logs or diagnostic data. I'm using adafruit circuit python 7.1.0 with an Adafruit Magtag. Any advice on what my next step is? I searched for any files or info I thought would be relevant but like I said I new to this and this is getting frustrating!
@rjlange773 It may be that MU cannot find the environment when you run it. How did you install it? Is it a Python virtual environment?
So this will probably not work unless you are using a virtual environment, but you can try it if you have one.

no, I think what it means is a way to isolate your python package installs between projects and use custom versions of the python interpreter
this is a tool for doing such things and its homepage will help you understand a little better

Just installed Mu so I can easily work on some ESP8285 (ESP8266) boards. However while file browsing works fine, the REPL just shows junk, like it isn't set to the correct baud rate. I can't see a way to find what baud rate it uses. If I open the serial port via Putty then REPL is just fine at 115200bps. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting that controls the serial port speed somewhere?
I should add that this is on Windows 10, the board I'm using is an ESP8285 module.
Hmmm, just tried a different module a WeMos D1 mini and that worked fine. So I suspect the issue is something to do with the ESP8285 module and the way the control lines are being driven by Mu. The different bps looks to me like the ESP bootloader, so probably booting in to firmware loading mode or something. Weird that it works fine on Putty but not Mu... :(
I had a total newb question. I just installed Mu and running it for the first time on an older (2015) MacBook. Everything appears to be working fine, except the minus sign, "-", is a nearly invisible light gray in my editor and the interactive shell. Can someone tell me how to change the font color of this one specific character?
@cnobile2012
from pathlib2 import Path
I have run pip3 install pathlib2 in Terminal with no errors. Can someone explain why Mu does not see pathlib2?
2017 MBP running Monterey 12.0.1
However, pip3 install pathlib2 runs in Terminal with no errors.
Hi @mycroft47 and @Bohaska - Mu runs its own isolated version of Python (i.e. Mu comes with Python - this means beginner users of Mu don't have to go about installing a bunch of opaque technical stuff.... "It just works" :tm:). To install packages for Mu's version of Python, hit the cog icon on the bottom right and select the "third party packages" tab. Then just make sure the list of packages you need is enumerated in the text area (one package on each line). The whole process is explained here: https://codewith.mu/en/tutorials/1.1/pypi
@GooseTheCat8602 anything published by adafruit.com (for CircuitPython) is very good.
THANKS for Mu! Running Win10, ESP32. Minor Point: When starting Mu, loading a program, clicking RUN: Mu switches to REPL but code does not run. Clicking Run again executes code. Should Mu default to starting with REPL active? I am writing stuff for Education program and looking for any "Minor Confusions" :-) I am good at finding those. Regards, Terry
Hi Everyone, Question about RUN and "Stop".. Running Win10, ESP32. What is the best way to STOP running code?? (D id there used to be a STOP button?)
Present behavior: Code loaded in editor, REPL visible, click RUN. Code runs, REPL shows POWERON_RESET (And other setup lines), then
MPY: soft reboot
raw REPL; CTRL-B to exit
>OK
(THEN DISPLAYS any PRINT from code)
How to STOP??
I click REPL and code stops, and full editor window displayed
I click REPL again and REPL displays, showing the (POWERON_RESET ... down to >>> prompt)
@TerryKing :wave: We love getting feedback and reports of problems. The "run" button behaviour you first describe is not correct. What version of Mu are you using..?
(not correct = "that's not how it's supposed to work")
Hello Nicholas, First: many Thanks for your dedication to mu-editor! I can promise you that 100+ kids in Vermont USA will learn a lot using your work.
I am running WIN10 and mu-editor 1.1.0b7 This is ESP MicroPython Mode. Python3 Mode works great. Kids will start there.
I'd be happy to do anything I can to help now or in the future. I'm an Engineer who went Rogue at IBM and wrote code when that "Wasn't Done". I have quite a bit of Arduino and ESP32 experience and helpers who know more...
Let me know what I can do to help. Regards, Terry
