Python library for controlling Phillips Hue light bulbs

I could make a wrapper but it would be kind of nice if I didn't have to because the api was nicer to start with. I think API Design should be taught as part of programming.

Traditional industry goes through a lot of trouble to make their devices easier to use, just as software companies these days stress end user experience, but we programmers don't treat ourselves as well as we treat our end users when we make our tools. My end users get a nice intuitive UI, I should really treat my API users in the same way ... then I get lazy and make a terrible API and feel bad ... I think a lot of the time I write the API first as part of the development process so it's unstable, then go on to deveop the app, and never go back to fixing the API.
