[Microbit-Python] importing modules using uflash

[Radomir Dopieralski]

Not quite.

It doesn't matter how you upload your main script -- you can use uFlash
or Mu or the online editor, or even prepare the hex file yourself by
hand. The thing is, that the hex file can contain only one python file
in it.

However, there is also internal filesystem on the micro:bit, where you
can put additional files to be imported by your main script. The most
convenient way to access that filesystem and upload your files is by
using the latest version of the Mu editor. Of course, you could as well
just write a program that creates the file and writes its contents, but
that is a little roundabout way of doing it.

I hope this helps.
