Using the playground express with python

We need to install circuitpython (adafruit’s version of micropython). Luckily, this is very easy:

1. Download the python bootloader (adafruit-circuitpython-circuitplayground_express-en_US-5.3.1.uf2)
2. Drag this file to the CPLAYBOOT drive
3. Eject the disk
4. Press reset
