Is there any Python PIC IDE?

[cnr437]

Is there any IDE which uses Python Programming Language for writing PIC Microcontrollers??

[CptPicard]

First question probably would be ... can Python in general program PIC microcontrollers?

If so, I would think any IDE would do, no?

Funny: this post is top hit for http://www.google.com/search?q=python+pic+microcontroller -- but there are other promising links. Look them up, I have no idea which could be relevant. There **are** couple projects apparently.

Edit: we are top hit. Please behave, anyone searching for "Python PIC microcontroller" is bound to read this. Surreal feeling :-)

I think it's just a silly idea to program PIC using Python. I've done a fair bit of programming on the PIC series of microcontrollers using Assembly and C. I just can't imagine any great success using any language higher than C for those chips, maybe except some other system-programming languages like Forth.

Anyway, look at this thread:

Yes, pikdev:

edit: sorry I missed the python bit. pikdev is just an IDE for asm
