Can microbit's micropython run mpy files?

No, not at this point.

I know you @dpgeorge already answered to @ouki-wang 's question, but what about now, after 2 years have passed?

I precompiled a test python script using the version of micropython specified in here (I used the specified git hash) and then when I try to import it within the microbit I get an error telling me the module doesn't exist. Is it possible that I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks!

For hints on getting it to load mpy files, see this comment: #555 (comment)

Hopefully this feature will make it into the main code soon.

Any news on this after another 2 years? ;-)

Reviewing the comment this seems a rather small code change and I feel this could be the default behaviour.

I've just run out of storage space on a micro:bit V2 and I'm going to have to find a code minifier if I can't mpy to save file system space...

I put in microbit-foundation/micropython-microbit-v2#226 for a V2 solution to my issue,
