usys – System specific functions

This MicroPython module is a subset of the sys module in Python.

Input and output streams

stdin

This is a stream object (uio.FileIO) that receives input from a connected terminal, if any.

Also see kbd_intr to disable KeyboardInterrupt when passing binary data via stdin.

stdout

This is a stream object (uio.FileIO) that sends output to a connected terminal, if any.

stderr

Alias for stdout.

Version info

implementation

MicroPython version tuple. See format and example below.

version

Python compatibility version, Pybricks version, and build date. See format and example below.

version_info

Python compatibility version. See format and example below.

Examples

Version information

from pybricks import version

# ('essentialhub', '3.2.0b5', 'v3.2.0b5 on 2022-11-11')
print(version)

import usys

# ('micropython', (1, 19, 1), 'SPIKE Essential Hub with STM32F413RG', 6)
print(usys.implementation)

# '3.4.0; Pybricks MicroPython v3.2.0b5 on 2022-11-11'
print(usys.version)

# (3, 4, 0)
print(usys.version_info)

Standard input and output

The stdin stream can be used to capture input via the Pybricks Code input/output window. See the keyboard input project to learn how this works. This approach can be extended to exchange data with any other device as well.
