* Package name : rshell Version : 0.0.31-1 Upstream Author : https://github.com/dhylands/rshell * URL : https://pypi.org/project/rshell/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : A remote shell for working with MicroPython boards A simple shell which runs on the host and uses MicroPython's raw-REPL to send Python snippets to the board in order to get file-system information, to copy files to and from MicroPython's file-system. It also has the ability to invoke the MicroPython REPL, so rshell can be used as a terminal emulator as well. Currently, the standard method for installing this is to use pip3. However, given it has minimal dependencies (pyserial and pyudev) which are already packaged nicely in Debian, there's no particular reason this shouldn't be deb-packaged too. The only other (direct) means of manipulating the file-system on a MicroPython device currently available in Debian (that I'm aware of) is the Thonny editor. However, Thonny requires a graphical environment, whilst rshell is also suitable for console only environments. I'm happy to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
