jonEbird / satellite-skeleton.py
Created April 26, 2013 20:28
Sample Python script for connecting to your RedHat Satellite or Spacewalk server. But also an example of a file that you can source from your shell to help set some useful variables for subsequent invocations of your Python script. Trying to combine two conveniences into one file. I had seen this before and got a refresher course from [rosettaco…
#!/bin/bash
# -*- python -*-
"true" '''\'
#
# Shell Code that helps you setup useful variables. Source this script.

# Taken from http://www.dzone.com/snippets/remote-debugging-python-using
# Only added the SO_REUSEADDR socket option since I hit the breakpoint often
