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)
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
@tjguk:matrix.org : Thanks for the clear reply. Hmm.. I am working with a program that will have about 150 elementary-middle school kids with no coding experience, learning Python in an online environment : example:( https://hourofpython.trinket.io/a-visual-introduction-to-python#/welcome/an-hour-of-code) That's great to start.. But I am working on a project that bridges those kids AFTER they really learn some Python, to Python3 and MicroPython(esp32) using mu. And that trinket thing charges $3 per seat per month for Python3 and Pygame etc. OpenSourceRules!
I will try to get the first-phase of online students to tell us what their home computer hardware is. Hmm is there a good online app that will do that for an online user?? So I hope to have a better perspective on the need to a 32-bit installer. Not QuickCritical.
Thanks and let me know what you think...

"Sometimes it’s not possible to install Mu because the computers you have available are locked down by somebody else.
Perhaps you find yourself running a workshop in a library or your school’s network administrator is more likely to say “get off my lawn” than “let me help you with that”. Don’t worry, thanks to the remarkable work of 14 year old Josh Lowe, you can run Mu from a pendrive (those dongle-thingamabobs for storing files that you plug into the computer’s USB port). This technique should work on both Windows and OSX.

If this is really obsolete maybe it should be removed, or labelled How NOT :-)
import math
class Object:
def __init__(self, x, y, z):
self.x = x
self.y = y
self.z =z
Volume = x * y * z
print(Volume)
def area(self):
Area = self.x * self.z
print(area)
eObject = Object
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mu-editor==1.1.0b7
ERROR: No matching distribution found for mu-editor==1.1.0b7
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pygame<2.0,>=1.9.2 (from pgzero)
Area = self.x * self.z but then print(area) I think you should change Area to area and you'll get a result printed. Also, you may also want to just return area. When you instantiate the object it should look like this: eObject = Object(x=3, y=4, z=5) etc...
eObject=Object(3, 4, 5))
THANKS! I think it would be very useful for school environments and home schoolers. I would distribute it on small USB Flashdrive I think..
I have run the current release MAC version from flashdrive on a MacBook. VERY slow but it works...
In this era, installing ANYTHING is becoming a hassle. There is so much fear of malware/ransomware in the media and online discussions.
@ntoll I am running Python 3.9.7 but am encountering issues much like thos reported by @urbainy.
pip3 install mu-editor==1.1.0b7
RROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mu-editor==1.1.0b7
ERROR: No matching distribution found for mu-editor==1.1.0b7
pip3 install mu-editor
RROR: Cannot install mu-editor==1.0.0, mu-editor==1.0.1, mu-editor==1.0.2 and mu-editor==1.0.3 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
The conflict is caused by:
mu-editor 1.0.3 depends on matplotlib==2.2.2
mu-editor 1.0.2 depends on matplotlib==2.2.2
mu-editor 1.0.1 depends on matplotlib==2.2.2
mu-editor 1.0.0 depends on matplotlib==2.2.2
To fix this you could try to:
- loosen the range of package versions you've specified
- remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Hi Everyone, (NewBieAlert) Problem with page https://codewith.mu/en/tutorials/1.1/ (Shows available tutorials)..
One tutorial is "Adafruit Boards and Mu" click and see [Adafruit make a wide variety of a...]
Another tutorial is "MicroPython on ESP" Click and.. (it goes to the Adafruit tutorial).
MinorWish: The REPL tutorial is good. There are specific examples of the button bands for Python3 and Adafruit and BBC micro:bit
It WouldBeNice if there was one for the ESP Micropython REPL. :-)
I DID just get Nicholas' book "Programming With MicroPython" but I just started...
OK, sorry, I know this is still Beta but I am easily confused. I will now Read The Tollervey Book.
THANKS for all the work; Mu is a wonderful tool for teaching this stuff. Once I learn it.

I will leave this here for anyone who may be able to look in to it. This function shows the problem:
from time import strftime
import time
def clock():
while True:
string = strftime("%H:%M:%S")
print(string, end="\r")
time.sleep(1)clock()
The output should not redraw on a new line but it does... (\r should cause it to overwrite on the same line) ... Thank you tjguk
