(we're drifting off topic, so this will be my last addition to this
subthread)

Yes, as great as IPython is, when it's considered out of scope for the
standard installers, it's unlikely to be a good fit for a version of Python
aimed at running *on* a microcontroller. Running on a Raspberry Pi or
remote PC and *talking* to an associated microcontroller is a different
story, though.

Cheers,
Nick.
