Description
Not trying to cause any hassle, but instead to have fact recorded, and possible to get some comments regarding planning and issues related to implementation.
So, "import" statement (well, import() builtin func) is currently not implemented (just dumps its args), and mp_module_new() has following comment:
// temporary way of making C modules
// hack: use class to mimic a module
I understand that full-fledged modules support is probably not top-prior 5578 ity for MCU port - being able to create C modules and using just single main Python app already allows to do a lot of things. But sooner or later it will be needed - that's what we all expect from Python - being easily to reuse 3rd-party modules, right? (Actually #7 already touched on that.) And "unix" port is pretty orphaned without it.
So, any planning/ETA when this might be implemented? Any blockers on the road? For example, I don't know if all needed things on core side are there, but I may imagine there're many "boring" questions like modules search paths, then differences between search paths/mehods for ports (MCU vs unix), support for precompiled bytecode files, etc. etc.
