Pymakr doesn't like accents

[bvincent]

Pymakr is not very french friendly !
I just lost one hour because I put a accented character "é" in a comment.
Each time I tried to execute my script on the LoPy with the green arrow "Run this code" (since the "sync project" doesn't work...) I got :

Running
Error while communicating with the LoPy! (click to attempt to reconnect)
Connecting to a LoPy...
Connected
>>> 

After that you have to quit Pymakr and restart it (Terminal connection to LoPy continue running)
For example, try to run a file containing:

# Je vais planter PyMakr : hé hé hé ...

Another question : is there any possibility (except Sync project) to upload a file to a LoPy via USB/COMnn, or to mount the filesystem like with the PyBoard ?

Thank you for your help.

Thank's, mpfshell works fine for me, except for keyboard shortcuts on Windows console (Tab, BS, ctrl-Alt-]...) but for file transfer over USB it's OK and it really help me when Wifi is down.

About the second question: You can try https://github.com/PMunch/mpfshell Apparently @tholden was able to use it with success https://forum.pycom.io/topic/579/getting-started-guide-lopy/4

For handling files n LoPy you can use ftp. Tools like FileZilla or FireFTP makes life very easy. You can configure them for instance to open a file in the editor if you double-click on it's name. Loading from Lopy and storing it back it then handled transparently.
