program list

Download the custom(user) module and
Can I see the downloaded file on the hub?

Or can I download several programs? (like slots on the official app)

There is only one active program on the hub, but you can import functions from other files / modules, which will all be downloaded to the hub (from my understanding).

If you want to chose from multiple functions, take a look at the hub_menu from the tools

Thanks for checking. It looks like we have the usys.modules feature currently disabled in bricks/_common/mpconfigport.h.

#define MICROPY_PY_SYS_MODULES                  (0)

The ChatGPT suggestion sounds like a nice way to get the job done.

Riffing on that, something like this would get a dict similar to sys.modules.

modules = {n: m for n, m in globals().items() if isinstance(m, type(sys))}

[deopark]

Only imported files/modules are downloaded to the hub, so you already have the list because it is the list of imports.

Thank you for your reply.

Can I know which custom(user define) modules (user.py ) are downloaded? before I import.
Also, what if I want to delete a downloaded custom file (.py) or see if it exists?

Can I know which custom(user define) modules (user.py ) are downloaded?

If there are any import statements like import user or from user import ... then user.py will be downloaded to the hub along with the current script that is importing it. All files are downloaded as a single package, so downloading and running a new program replaces all files previously downloaded to the hub.

Now understand!!
Thank you, Master!

I actually just saw an interesting use of "dynamic" imports in combination with hub_menu. I had never thought of using import this way.

We've just added a tutorial that also answers this question. It works both with Python and block-based coding.

Would love to see an updated tutorial for this where two different menu options use the same motor or sensor.
