fix bug #8

Make it work with macOS

the mu-editor is cross-platform
Maybe we can use find_microbit()

I had a look at PySerial comports() function for MacOS, and it seems it fills VID and PID automatically. This is all we need to find a microbit.

Also found this implementation:

# Regular expression to match the device id of the micro:bitRE_VID_PID=re.compile("VID:PID=([0-9A-F]+):([0-9A-F]+)", re.I)
deffind_microbit():
""" Returns the port for the first micro:bit found connected to the computer running this script. If no micro:bit is found, returns None. """forport, desc, optsincomports():
match=RE_VID_PID.search(opts)
ifmatch:
vid, pid=match.groups()
vid, pid=int(vid, 16), int(pid, 16)
ifvid==MICROBIT_VIDandpid==MICROBIT_PID:
returnportifsys.platform.startswith('win'):
# No COM port found, so give an informative prompt.sys.stderr.write('Have you installed the micro:bit driver?\n')
sys.stderr.write('For more details see: {}\n'.format(ARM))
returnNone

I will try this fix until it fails for someone. Maybe a bad call.
