rshell.py nowait replaced by wait (seconds). Requires pyboard.py dated 8th Dec …

This is an interim fix to the issue of the behaviour in the case where the pyboard is not ready when rshell is started. If pyboard.py fails to connect in time, rshell prints a message and issues exit(1). I appreciate that your preferred approach is to raise a DeviceError. However if I do that it attempts to autoconnect which then throws an exception and hangs. Until that's fixed it seemed cleanest to quit. Here is the outcome with a non-ready Pyboard using DeviceErrror

$ rshell

Welcome to rshell. Use Control-D to exit.

No MicroPython boards connected - use the connect command to add one
