This utility works like a shell interpreter but pastes the content of a script into a MicroPython device on a local UART interface and displays any output from the device.

hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/pub/mpu
cd mpu
make
sudo make install

Run script directly to interpret code on MicroPython device, else invoke with python in the shell to run locally.

#! /usr/local/bin/mpu /dev/ttyUSB1

# vim: shiftwidth=4 tabstop=4 softtabstop=4 expandtab

for i in range(1, 5):
    print("{} Hello".format(i))
    for i in range(1, 5):
        print("World!", end = ' ')
    print()

This is the output from MicroPython or python.

1 Hello
World! World! World! World!
2 Hello
World! World! World! World!
3 Hello
World! World! World! World!
4 Hello
World! World! World! World!

BMP180 attached to ESP8266 as per picture above.
