<![CDATA[Porting adafruit TSL2591 micropython to Pycom library]]>I'm trying to port this code in from Adafruit and not seeing what it's doing to trip up.. I've succeeded in getting several other libraries working, but it seems that each one is written completely differently, so it's not been as simple as tweak a few lines. :(

While Circuitpython stores the address in a i2c object, it has to be provided separately for Pycom's dialect.
So what should be changed:
a) in init, change:

        #self._device = i2c_device.I2CDevice(i2c, address)

into

        self._i2c_address = address

b) in read_u8 change:

        self._BUFFER[0] = (_TSL2591_COMMAND_BIT | address) & 0xFF
        self.i2c.writeto(self._BUFFER, end=1, stop=False)#line 129
        self.i2c.readinto(self._BUFFER, end=1)

into

        self.i2c.readfrom_mem_into(self._i2c_address, 
                                   (_TSL2591_COMMAND_BIT | address) & 0xFF,
                                   self._BUFFER)

c) do the same in _read_u16LE()
d) in _write_u8(), change

        self._BUFFER[0] = (_TSL2591_COMMAND_BIT | address) & 0xFF
        self._BUFFER[1] = val & 0xFF
        self.i2c.write(self._BUFFER, end=2)

into

        self.i2c.writeto_mem(self._i2c_address,
                             (_TSL2591_COMMAND_BIT | address) & 0xFF,
                             val & 0xFF)

There is more to change. Especially the line int init() which creates the i2c object should be in the calling code. Actuall it is already in your main.py, so change:
so

        self.i2c=I2C(pins=("P9","P10"))

into

        self.i2c = i2c
