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

Provision a new Pi and view its SSH command (using Python):

.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from hostedpi import PiCloud
>>> api_id = '8t29hvcux5g9vud8'
>>> secret = 'QNwsvxZY8SxT3OiLt:Vmz-D1mWQuoZ'
>>> cloud = PiCloud(api_id, secret, ssh_key_path='/home/ben/.ssh/id_rsa.pub')
>>> pi = cloud.create_pi('mypi')
>>> print(pi.ssh_command)
ssh -p 5123 root@ssh.mypi.hostedpi.com

See the `getting started`_ page for information on how to authenticate, and
