Research direction
Reproduce the problem in the forked pxt-sample project using pxt-core 7.3.4 on Python mode, then compare it with the working JavaScript mode. Start with the reported unknown type 'Buffer' error and determine the smallest Python example that triggers it; done means the example compiles without that error.
