BreezyCreate2 provides a simple abstraction layer on top of the Create2API library by Brandon Pomeroy, suitable for use by beginning Python programmers. BreezyCreate2 uses the standard Python distutils to install the Python module breezycreate2 and the JSON file required by Create2API. I have tested it with Python 2.7 and 3.5.
Once you've installed BreezyCreate2, you can access its sole class, the Robot class, which has easy methods for interacting with the robot: setForwardSpeed, playNote, getBumpers, etc. (See the robotest.py script for an example.)
