[Microbit-Python] Using micro-python to send simple radio commands?

[David Whale]

Is it possible to make the power level changeable dynamically without
having to set everything else? I have a homing beacon in pxt that works
nicely by using dynamic power setting, its easy in pxt but looks harder in
your python api to reconfigure every time just to change power level?
