This release adds support for MicroPython on the new Raspberry Pi Pico (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-silicon-pico-now-on-sale) and fixes some bugs.
I can now finally say, that all the work on Thonny's MicroPython support since early betas of 3.3 was supported by Raspberry Pi Foundation. Many thanks to them!
Installation
- Windows: download and execute thonny-3.3.3.exe. You may receive a warning dialog from Defender until it gains more reputation. Just click "More info" and "Run anyway".
- macOS: download and open thonny-3.3.3.pkg and follow the instructions. NB! While using Thonny you may be asked for permission to use Desktop or Documents. Make sure you grant the permission, othewise Thonny can't work in that folder!
- macOS Big Sur: thonny-3.3.3.pkg may work, but if you are having problems, then try thonny-3.3.1_alt.pkg from a previous release instead. This one has universal build of Python 3.9 (instead of 3.7) and newer Tk (8.6.10 instead of 8.6.8).
- Linux: download thonny-3.3.3.bash and execute it with Bash (
bash thonny-3.3.3.bash)
thonny-xxl variants have more packages preinstalled.
