MicroPython
***********
.. py:module:: micropython
Access and control MicroPython internals.
Functions
=========
.. py:function:: micropython.const(expr)
Used to declare that the expression is a constant so that the compiler can
optimise it. The use of this function should be as follows:
.. code-block:: python
from micropython import const
CONST_X = const(123)
CONST_Y = const(2 * CONST_X + 1)
Constants declared this way are still accessible as global variables from
outside the module they are declared in. On the other hand, if a constant
begins with an underscore then it is hidden, it is not available as a
global variable, and does not take up any memory during execution.
.. py:function:: micropython.opt_level([level])
If level is given then this function sets the optimisation level for
subsequent compilation of scripts, and returns None. Otherwise it returns
the current optimisation level.
The optimisation level controls the following compilation features:
* Assertions: at level 0 assertion statements are enabled and compiled
into the bytecode; at levels 1 and higher assertions are not compiled.
* Built-in ``__debug__`` variable: at level 0 this variable expands to
True; at levels 1 and higher it expands to False.
* Source-code line numbers: at levels 0, 1 and 2 source-code line number
are stored along with the bytecode so that exceptions can report the
line number they occurred at; at levels 3 and higher line numbers are
not stored.
The default optimisation level is usually level 0.
.. py:function:: micropython.mem_info([verbose])
Print information about currently used memory. If the verbose argument is
given then extra information is printed.
.. py:function:: micropython.qstr_info([verbose])
Print information about currently interned strings. If the verbose argument
is given then extra information is printed.
This includes the number of interned strings and the amount of RAM they
use. In verbose mode it prints out the names of all RAM-interned strings.
.. py:function:: micropython.stack_use()
Return an integer representing the current amount of stack that is being
used. The absolute value of this is not particularly useful, rather it
should be used to compute differences in stack usage at different points.
.. py:function:: micropython.heap_lock()
.. py:function:: micropython.heap_unlock()
Lock or unlock the heap. When locked no memory allocation can occur and a
``MemoryError`` will be raised if any heap allocation is attempted.
.. py:function:: micropython.kbd_intr(chr)
Set the character that will raise a KeyboardInterrupt exception. By default
this is set to 3 during script execution, corresponding to Ctrl-C. Passing
-1 to this function will disable capture of Ctrl-C, and passing 3 will
restore it.
This function can be used to prevent the capturing of Ctrl-C on the
incoming stream of characters that is usually used for the REPL, in case
that stream is used for other purposes
