It's really cool that some of these little boards are getting more and more Python support. A few years ago it was still really in its infancy. Being able to program small little projects in an easy to learn and universal language is a great time saver and great for learning. This board would likely be a perfect gift for a budding young geek to get started in electronics and hardware hacking, for example. They could use it to make all sorts of projects, and likely throw together something that would wow the adults around them in a few days or weeks for something like a science fair.
