the beauty of an API is you can use whatever language you are comfortable with, python just happens to be the one this SDK is based on. We have an entire series on getting started with iControl objects, which focuses on both the SOAP and REST interfaces and covers the basics of interrogating objects. You can find that here. Specific to python, I have a Demystifying the iControl REST interface that you can reference as well, and I will be writing articles in the future on utilizing the sdk itself.
