     It's a bit unclear and I didn't ask follow-up questions, but there's an educational kit for 200 HKD which I believe includes several different devices that all run micropython and come with a convenient plastic box with compartments -- one device with WiFi, one that can flash LEDs, etc.

     Hmm, that story doesn't really match what I'm seeing at store.micropython.org or http://www.sunontechnology.com/micropython/product/showproduct.php?id=22 .

     It's actually a wrapper around awk -- it generates an awk program and runs that on the data.

     @awg Yeah. Apart from performance, another reason is probably that he made each tool stand-alone and wanted them to be small.
     
     No external deps apart from python and awk, so you can just copy the tool you need onto whatever machine your data is on and do some guerilla data processing.
     
     Some python deps like six were simply copied into the tools, the parts that were needed.
     
     tpretty looks like a thing I'm likely to start using -- just make a neat ASCII line border table around your tsv data. And ttail is tail, but retains the column headers.

     @awg I need to find an excuse to make use of python's built-in !tcltk interpreter and present something next year. :-D

     @awg I conveyed my same sentiment.
