Import Projects into the Python Editor

Python projects from external sources can be imported into the editor using a special URL e.g. https://python.microbit.org/v/2#project:{{ encoded project }}

To encode a project, it must be structured as follows:

{
    "meta": {
        "cloudId": "yoururl.com",          # optional
        "comment": "A MicroPython script", # required - may be blank
        "editor": "python",                # required - editor name
        "lastUse": 1538407830,             # optional - UNIX time the script was last used
        "name": "unearthly script 2"       # required - may be blank
    },
    "source": "# Add your Python code here. E.g.\r\n from microbit import *\r\n while True:\r\n    display.scroll('Hello, World!')\r\nsleep(2000)"
}

This JSON structure is compressed using LZMA, and then encoded as Base64 to include in the import URL.
