That's all there is to using the MPR121 module with CircuitPython!
# Call touched to get a 12-bit value with the state of each MPR121 input.
touch = mpr121.touched()
# Test if exactly bit 0 and 11 are set to 1, i.e. input 0 and 11 are touched.
if touch == 0b100000000001:
print('Input 0 and 11 touched!')
# Or test if either bit 0 or 11 are set to 1, i.e. input 0 or 11 are touched:
if touch & 0b100000000000 > 0 or touch & 0b000000000001 > 0:
print('Input 0 or 11 touched!')
