The MinecraftShape API allows you create and manipulate shapes (collections of blocks) in Minecraft.
The shapes can be small or big and the API helps by efficiently moving them and only changing the blocks which have actually changed.
Example:
from mcpi.minecraft import Minecraft
from mcpi import block
from minecraftstuff import MinecraftShape
mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create()
pos = mc.player.getTilePos()
myShape = MinecraftShape(mc, pos)
# create a big cube
myShape.setBlocks(-5, -5, -5, 5, 5, 5, block.WOOL.id, 5)
#move it 10 blocks up
myshape.moveBy(0, 10, 0)
#rotate it 45 degrees
myshape.rotate(45, 0, 0)minecraftstuff
