The full story
Fabian Kübler got real Python, MicroPython's lexer, compiler and virtual machine, running on a Super Nintendo's 3.58 MHz 65816 CPU, with a 56 KB Python heap and 16-bit integers. It was a long-held dream from sharing a SNES with his brother as a child. The blog post tells the story, and you can try the Python prompt right inside it through an in-browser emulator.
