bricks/common/mpconfigport: enable f-strings on level 2 hubs #351
Conversation
Enable f-strings on level 2 hubs. This is a very useful feature, but also big, so we only enable it on level 2 hubs.
They already work in mpy-cross compiled scripts, just not on the REPL. You can run this on Technic Hub today: world = "123"
print(f"Hello, {world}")
Besides the REPL (where using f-strings should be relatively rare), what are the additional things we could now do? |
In micropython f-strings in the REPL are not widely implemented. But like David states, nice to have. |
I was using paste-mode on the REPL since we don't have download and run on the EV3 yet. If we ever get a "real" file system and people can load .py files rather than just .mpy, then this would be useful as well. Not urgent though. |
Makes sense. So let's defer until we need it.
It's fine to enable it on EV3 to make development easier if we keep tabs on what needs disabling later (just like the debug port.) |

On the one had, having differences between hubs can cause confusion, but on the other hand, f-strings are really nice to have.
We already have some precedence of handling strings a bit different on level 2 hubs (example) so this could be explained along with those other differences.
