Chapter 17 Python
(fx-CG50, fx-CG50 AU only)
The Python mode provides a runtime environment for the Python programming language.
You can use the Python mode to create, save, edit, and run Python files.
Important!
The • Python mode supports a version of MicroPython Version 1.9.4, which has been adapted
to run on this calculator. Note that generally, MicroPython is different from the Python
that runs on a computer. Also, the Python mode does not support all of the functions,
commands, modules, and libraries of MicroPython.
MicroPython is an open-source project. For license information, refer to “MicroPython license •
information” (page
-1).
The • Python mode performs executions using the MicroPython processing system. Because
of this, calculation results and other data produced by this mode may differ from execution
results of other function modes.
