Python always deserves blame. It was written by someone who didn't understand a simple, obvious concept: When you make whitespace part of your program, it means part of your source code is invisible.
Anyone that stupid should not be allowed near a computer.
Edit: Specifically, I blame python because if it didn't exist this would have never been a problem.
Edit 2: The language you mention shouldn't exist, but does anyway. It doesn't run anywhere that matters.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Since the Soapbox is closed I am not entering the War on Python, on either side...
But I was referring to your specific complaint&blame regarding the micropython toolchain forking up your code. That is clearly a micropython blunder. Anyway, what happened to all your praise for this Gabor-dude, he appears to fancy the Python-concept?

Well, he's not the one that wrote the build scripts, and I'm going to be charitable and assume the Micropython bindings were someone else's contribution.
I blame Python. Always Python because the language should not exist, and were it not for it, MicroPython would not exist, and without that my build issues would go away.
Basically Python is why I'm such an ardent proponent of birth control. One condom could have prevented this.
Edit: Yeah this isn't soapbox, and here I am ranting. Shame on me.

The first time some whippersnapper showed me that I vowed never to touch it. The bank decided to use Python extensively, I retired.

Python used to be actually great in the 2.x days when Guido used to be the benevolent leader. Somewhere down the line, I don't know what happened but they lost the track along the 3.x path. No doubt, Python has a lot of mind-blowing stuff like nltk, django, flask, etc. but that's all thanks to the ecosystem! Core python has only gotten slower and slower since 3.x without getting any benefits in exchange for that slowness.
There is a lot of scope in that dynamic language though. With some effort, they can probably make it perform on par with at least PHP or Java, if not C#.

I disagree.
Programs that have invisible source code belong in the trash.
Python programs require invisible source code.
Therefore Python belongs in the trash.

It all depends on the design and robustness of the language or runtime though. Java web programming, for example, sits on many layers of invisible code such as JVM, Servlets, J2EE/JSP, Spring, etc. and yet it performs amazingly fast and used throughout the enterprise! By your logic, it must be pathetically slow due to these layers and dumped into trash by now.

It's like you didn't even read what I wrote. So I'll try again.
I don't care about the speed of python.
I care about INVISIBLE SOURCE CODE. Source code that you cannot see. Do you understand the concept? Such source code belongs in the trash, because it's unmaintainable because you cannot see it with your eyes.
Similarly languages that *require* source code that you cannot see with your eyes (read: invisible source code) belong in the trash as well.
Edit: I think I get where you misunderstand me. I didn't say anything about 3rd party libraries. I mean whitespace. Significant whitespace = invisible source code.
When you make whitespace part of your program, it means part of your source code is invisible.
Edit 2: I'm sorry I was hostile. I'm in an awful mood right now and probably shouldn't be here.

I complained the other day on CodeProject that Visual Studio was running my code generator twice (and caused naming conflict since the same class was added twice to the project) and then.. bingo! 3 days later a VisualStudio update fixed the problem!

Yeah, so should I - I blame the inclusion of Crimea in their image confusing me.
I might agree that Crimea should be part of Ukraine, but that would get political, like if they put up Tibet one day ...
