Do you know about Pyro? It supports Hemisson robots: http://pyrorobotics.org/ I'll be using the pyserial module heavily, but I'm > wondering what would be the best way to approach this .

The simplest way to control a single robot is probably to use module-level functions to control the robot. You can still have a robot class; the module functions can delegate to a single instance of Robot. The turtle module does this, too; it has a global instance of Pen which is used by the global functions.
