pymcu-pic-toolchain

Vendored GNU PIC Utilities (gputils) for the PyMCU PIC backend.

This package ships the gpasm assembler plus the processor header files (header/*.inc) as a platform-specific wheel, so that

pip install --pre "pymcu-compiler[pic]"

is self-contained — no system brew install gputils / apt install gputils step required.

It mirrors the role pymcu-avr-toolchain and pymcu-arm-toolchain play for the other backends.

API

import pymcu_pic_toolchain as t

t.get_tool("gpasm")   # -> Path to a ready-to-run gpasm binary
t.header_dir()        # -> Path to the bundled *.inc headers (or None)
t.GPUTILS_VERSION     # -> "1.5.2"

The pymcu-pic toolchain driver resolves binaries in this order: this wheel → system PATH → the ~/.pymcu/tools cache → source build.

Versioning

The package version tracks the bundled gputils version. Packaging-only fixes on the same gputils release use a .postN suffix.

License

The packaging code is MIT. The bundled gputils binaries are GPL-2.0-or-later — they are aggregated, not linked; the driver invokes gpasm as a subprocess. See LICENSE.
