This is a Python library for using Nordic Semiconductor's nRF24L01+ radios using the DangerousPrototypes BusPirate as a SPI adaptor.
It works nicely with the $4 breakout boards from Itead Studio.
Caveat: USB and the FTDI chip introduce a very high latency compared to the low latency SPI controllers on a microcontroller. This will limit your data rate, and specifically means that you will lose received packets if they come just after sending a packet, before the computer has to put the radio back into receive mode. So if you're doing a request/reply protocol, add a delay before the remote device replies to give the BusPirate some time. This works for testing, but you probably want to connect the radio to a microcontroller for more serious use.
