Thanks

  • Doug Lau for writing NXT_Python, our starting point.
  • rhn for creating what would become v2, making lots of smaller changes, and reviewing tons of code.
  • Marcus Wanner for maintaining NXT-Python up to v2.2.2, his work has been amazing!
  • Elvin Luff for taking over the project after Marcus, making a lot of work for the port to Python 3.
  • mindsensors.com (esp. Ryan Kneip) for helping out with the code for a lot of their sensors, expanding the sensors covered by the type checking database, and providing hardware for testing.
