I see that the git mainline has support for Python. I would like to incorporate python into pxt-sample. I tried the obvious of adding the python entries found in `pxtarget.json` from pxt-adafruit to pxt-sample. No luck. Where is the documentation on adding python to pxt or what am I missing in moving what works in pxt-adafruit into pxt-sample?

Oh, it looks like the package.json in the pxt-sample repo is pretty out of date! You’ll want the dependencies and devDependencies in that file to look like this:
```
"devDependencies": {
"typescript": "^3.7.5",
"semantic-ui-less": "2.2.14",
"@types/bluebird": "2.0.33",
"@types/jquery": "3.3.29",
"@types/marked": "0.3.0",
"@types/node": "8.0.53"
},
"dependencies": {
"pxt-core": "6.0.1"
}
```
Specifically, you should update the versions for pxt-core, typescript, and @types/jquery. (You can also use ^6.1.22 for pxt-core, which is the latest version with some extra features and fixes.) You may also need to run `pxt buildcss --force` to update all the CSS after you run `npm install` again.
Hope that helps!

Gives me `python` blocks.
Thank you so much.
