Micropython is an implementation of the Python 3 programming langauge optimized to run on microcontrollers in a constrained environment.
Micropython requires only 256k of code space and 16k RAM and aims to be as compatible as possible with normal Python 3 to allow for easy portability from desktop to microcontroller.

Installation
- Install Thonny with apt:
sudo apt install thonny
- Install the
thonny-emacplugin from within Thonny.- Open Thonny
- Click
Tools->Manage Plugins... - Type "thonny-emac" into the search bar, then click search
- Click the "thonny-emac" link
- Click the "Install" button
- Restart Thonny to complete installation
- Configure Thonny for EMAC boards
- Go to
Tools->Options... - Click the "Interpreter" tab
- Select "Micropython (EMAC CutiPy/MitiPy)" from the top dropdown menu
- Go to
Developing on Thonny should now be configured for EMAC boards. General Thonny documentation can be found on the Thonny wiki.
