Python Script for watching SoYouStart.com server availability, it can watch many servers at many datacenters and notify by email

soyoustart.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

# I was in a hurry for a SYS server so i make this quick script,
# notice that you have to use codes from the "us" version, since server's id
# are different in the Europe versions of ovh sites
# You'll receive notification mails like this:
#
# 141cabk1 | BK-8T: Intel i3 2130  2c/4t  3.4 GHz+  8 GB  2x4 TB SATA
# AVAILABLE (1H-low) in gra
# AVAILABLE (1H-low) in sbg
# AVAILABLE (1H-low) in bhs
#
# 143casys2 | E3-SAT-3: Intel Xeon E3 1245v2 4c/8t  3.4 GHz+  32 GB  2x2 TB SATA
# AVAILABLE (1H-low) in sbg
#
# And yes this script will send a mail for every time you run it, as i said i was in a hurry,
# maybe later i'll add a flag system that only sends mails on server status changes ;)
