Python interface to the Mythic Beasts Hosted Pi API, developed by the piwheels team (Ben Nuttall and Dave Jones).
This module provides a Pythonic interface to the API, as well as a command line interface.
The authors of this library are not affiliated with Mythic Beasts, but we use their Pi cloud to power the piwheels project.
Documentation of the API itself can be found at https://www.mythic-beasts.com/support/api/raspberry-pi
Note
Note that the library is currently in beta. The API and CLI are not yet stable and may change. Once the library reaches v1.0, it will be considered stable.
