How to use with Pico Pi? about suncalcpy2

[robinpaulson]

Hmm, good question. I thought I'd stripped out the incompatible libraries, but apparently not. The project got put on hold, so I didn't notice it.

[robinpaulson]

Ah, apparently I only stripped out the parts I didn't need, relating to the moon. And the parts which use calendar.

[robinpaulson]

All I needed it for was sun position, angles. I was likely going to remove everything else. I wanted a sun tracker for my solar panels.

Thanks for your feedback,
I was able to find datetime from the micropython libs but its not fully implemented for MicroPython and fails with TZ data.
(https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/python-stdlib/datetime)
Indeed calendar seems not be implemented at all yet for μP

I may get around to the project again this winter, I would be interested in any workarounds so we can ditch datetime.
