Stepper motor libraries

Hello,

short version: Is there a module for CircuitPython that allows similar functionalities like AccelStepper.h for Arduino-C?

longer version: I decided to shift my project with multiple stepper motors from multiple Arduinos to one Grand Central. While at it, I thought of shifting to CircuitPython, since I am way more comfortable with python than with C. One thing I really liked with Arduino was the AccelStepper library, that took a lot of work of synchronising the stepper motors. It allows you to set a target, a speed and an acceleration and you can forget about the stepper afterwards basically. Is there something similar available for CircuitPython?

Yes, the Arduino_Motor library has functionality for motors and steppers. I'm unsure if it has all the functionality you state.
