Cross compiling a python program

[softcity002]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the STM32 and Linux environment and have a question.

I am using the STM32MP157d-dk1 and have been following the getting started guide

(see : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Getting_started/STM32MP1_boards/STM32MP157x-DK2/Develop_on_Arm%C2%AE_Cortex%C2%AE-A7/Create_a_simple_hello-world_application ) and how to cross-compile with Developer-Package ( see : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_cross-compile_with_the_Developer_Package#Adding_a_.22hello_world.22_user_space_example  ) and it all works fine. But I'd like to know how to do the same thing but using a .py file instead of .c file from my host machine as i want to mainly use python for my development. 

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards.

Python is an interpreted language - you don't need to compile .py files.

As Andrew said, Python is an interpreted langauge.

So, you question morphs into - what Python libraries do you need, and if they are available / supported in ST's Yocto package.
Not sure if something like 'pip' exists for the MP1s.
