Project Summary

Pycorn is an interpreted operating system written in Python, intended to recreate the easy learning curve of 16-bit BASIC-based microcomputers. Device drivers, file systems, network protocols can all be implemented in Python with no C or assembler code.

The goal of the project is to create a usable interpreter-centric OS environment with the capabilities of modern computers; allowing a smooth learning curve from the acquisition of basic programming skills right up to implementing new OS-level functionality and drivers. Performance is not a goal, though it would be nice :) Current development is targeted at a variety of ARM platforms due to the relative simplicity of the hardware.
