HI @Jerry-zirui , I'm afraid uflash only supports MicroPython, not Microsoft's recent variation on a Pythonic theme.

If you want to use Python on the micro:bit, may I respectfully suggest you take MicroPython for a spin (see: https://microbit.org/get-started/user-guide/python/). MicroPython is a full implementation of Python 3 and used on many more devices than just the micro:bit (for instance, Lego's Spike platform).

Best of luck..!
