ucollections & utime
-
Hi Guys, I have a Wipy 3 on an pymakr expansion board v3.1. This is my first time working with Pycom and micropython and I am coming across a few roadblocks that are proving frustrating to me, but are probably simple for those who have been around for a while. I have had a look around the forum but perhaps am not familiar enough to know the right key words.
I usually use PyCharm for Python coding but I am now trying Atom and VS Code. Both IDE's can connect to the Pycom board and I can interact with the REPL. I can run the basic stuff and change the RGB Led colours, I have uploaded it and it runs my code automatically at start up.
So far so good .....I wanted to go a bit deeper and I am having difficulty downloading the ucollections and utime modules on my windows PC. I get errors like the following. [pip does work for the more traditional modules]
C:\Users\abc>pip download utime ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement utime (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for utime C:\Users\abc>pip install utime ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement utime (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for utimeI am pretty sure I can upload the module if I can get it into the lib directory in the project, but I just can't get a copy or find a way to download it. Can anyone please point me at the right location
Is there a document or guide for working with modules such as those mentioned in the subject ? [The Pycom documentation mentions the modules but does not advise how I can obtain copies].
I would also to fool the IDE's into working with the micropython libraries even though they can't directly run them. I saw some comments about stubbing them out and will look further into them next.Thanks in advance

utime is part of the standard libs on your device. You don't need to upload it. You can simply import it.

@crumble many thanks, I knew it would be a simple answer. I was fooled by IDE and now feel a bit foolish. I appreciate your quick reply it helped a lot. Definitely need to work more with micropython.
