Thonny is a Python-based integrated development environment (IDE) that provides rich features for learning, developing, and debugging Python code. Here are some of Thonny's features:
- Easy to learn and use: Thonny's interface is simple and clear, providing intuitive shortcuts and menu options, making it easier to learn and use Python.
- Code Editor: Thonny provides a powerful code editor that supports syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, code completion and other functions, which can help users write Python code more easily.
- Interactive console: Thonny has a built-in interactive console where you can directly enter and execute Python code, making it easy to debug and test the code.
- Debugger: Thonny provides a powerful debugger that can help users debug Python code, including setting breakpoints, single-step execution, viewing variables and other functions.
- Support multiple Python versions: Thonny supports multiple Python versions, including CPython, MicroPython, etc., and can easily switch and run different Python versions.
Micropython is a stripped-down Python interpreter that can run Python code on embedded systems and resource-limited devices. Some basic syntax of Micropython is similar to standard Python syntax, but there are also some differences:
- Variable definition: In Micropython, variables do not need to be defined in advance and can be directly assigned and used. For example, a value can be directly assigned to a variable, such as x = 10.
- Data types: Micropython supports the basic data types in standard Python, such as integers, floating point numbers, strings, etc. In addition, Micropython also supports some special data types, such as tuples, lists, etc.
- Control flow: In Micropython, you can use if, else, while and other statements to control the program flow. It should be noted that in Micropython, indentation is very important, and incorrect indentation will cause the program to not run properly.
- Function definition: In Micropython, you can define functions and call them. The definition of functions is similar to standard Python, but you need to pay attention to the types of function parameters and return values.
- Exception handling: In Micropython, you can use try and except statements to handle exceptions. When handling exceptions, you need to pay attention to the type of exception.
- Module import: In Micropython, you can import modules and use their functions. Common modules include math, time, etc. It should be noted that in Micropython, module import requires the use of the import statement.
- File operations: In Micropython, you can use the built-in open() function to open and operate files. It should be noted that in Micropython, file operations may be subject to device restrictions.
- Object-oriented programming (OOP): Micropython supports OOP programming, which allows you to create classes and objects and use features such as inheritance and encapsulation.
- Module writing: In Micropython, you can write your own modules and import them into other programs for use.
It should be noted that Micropython is a streamlined Python interpreter, so not all Python syntax and libraries are applicable to Micropython. When using Micropython, you need to understand its supported functions and limitations to avoid errors.
