ESP-Mesh allows support for mesh networking between ESP devices. The last mention I can find of mesh networking as a possibility for MicroPython is micropython/micropython-esp32#176 from three years ago, which was closed without being implemented. I'd like to request this feature if it isn't already on the table.

Just guessing that this will NOT drop out of the sky (though i too would like that). It has been closed several times and does require a fair amount of work.

The good news is (o think) that esp-mesh is just espressifs implementation of a mesh. Just like painlessmesh.
I guess a mesh is not as difficult to build in python as in cpp (so it "just" needs the necessary API to be available)
Another guess is that once the esp-now code is merged, it should be relatively easy.
So let's root for #6515 to be merged and then someone can build another python layer on top of that to make meshes even easier.

Also just found that glenn (author of 6515) has prebuilt images with esp-now here https://github.com/glenn20/micropython-espnow-images (big thanks)

just 2c from a newbie
