Hi,
I was reading about the micropython pyboard in Adafruit and found out that the board shows up as a usb drive so that you can drag 'n drop the .py file into the 115kb filesystem.
Is it possible with the arduino? just curious, but that would make life so much easier.
No, You would take up most of the flash with the file system.
Arduino doesn't mean only AVR anymore. There are Arduino and Arduino IDE compatible boards with lots of memory available now.
How much do you want to spend on a flash drive?
It's the looks like a USB drive part that I'm not so sure will be any kind of easy. I can connect multiple SD's to an AVR with no big problem but the PC interface is another matter.
Or I can buy a flash drive with the same or bigger capacity for less.
Let me think on it while I chisel the corners off my stone wheel.
So stealing that last line GFS

I think you're missing the point.
By the looks of it, it's a board with a built-in python interpreter. It shows as a drive in e.g. windows; drag a python file on it and it will run that python script.
I did not look too deep into it though.

That is different but looking like a USB drive, is it simple?
Is Portable Python or Python(x,y) that kind of thing?
I would still want to give it an SD adapter and for sure an M4 ARM-powered Frankenduino.
I've definitely heard of this used for an upload system on multiple boards. The Hackaday Superconference badge shows up as a drive when you plug in the USB, you just copy the HEX file to the drive to upload. I can't remember what the other ones were, maybe a launchpad board? It seems like a convenient system.
