[Microbit-Python] compiling micropython

[Loop Space]

Thanks Nicholas, my github username is 'loopspace' (and I'm recording my 
microbit experiments in https://github.com/loopspace/microbit).

There's no particular rush as I've gotten it working via the mu editor, 
but it'd be nice to have the more direct access and the ability to use a 
different editor.

Thanks,
Andrew
