[–] the_duke 9y ago ↗ For the confused ones (I was!):This is about writing an app for the Pebble smartwach (https://www.pebble.com) in Python by using the Python to Javascript compiler transcrypt (http://transcrypt.org/). [–] zyxley 9y ago ↗ This feels... at best kinda silly. Is there anything actually gained here compared to, say, even just using ES6 + Babel? [–] Kihashi 9y ago ↗ I expect that it would be nicer for those of us who know python but not JS. Although it might be overall better just to learn some JS.

[–] grenoire 9y ago ↗ This isn't exactly Python on Pebble, it's transcribed-to-JS Python. I'm a bit disappointed by the premise...
[–] TickleSteve 9y ago ↗ The pebble is just a normal Cortex-M processor, so Python should already run on it.(https://github.com/micropython/micropython/wiki) [–] vasaulys 9y ago ↗ Is there a guide to doing this? I'm curious to know, the pebble seems like a closed system so it would be hard to "just run micropython" on it vs. something more open. [–] fsiefken 9y ago ↗ AFAIK it's only either C or Javascript that you can use to create your WatchApp. See https://developer.pebble.com/guides/ [–] vasaulys 9y ago ↗ ok that I knew, I suppose you could compile python via C, at least theoretically. [–] wvenable 9y ago ↗ Memory requirements make this unfeasible for the Pebble. [–] zump 9y ago ↗ micropython ARM is around 80K. [–] wvenable 9y ago ↗ Exactly.
