in order to override the graypy version number, you need to use a filter which takes in the record... then override the version attribute:

    def filter(self, record):
        added_fields = dict(record.args)
        record.version = APP_VERSION # dynamically generated at module level
        record.company_name = added_fields.get('company_name', None)
        # add whatever data fields here we want to search by
        # record.does_not_exist = "DOES NOT EXIST TEST"
        return True

cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh user@hostname "cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
alternative:
ssh user@hostname "echo `cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub` >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
 
 
here is another alternative I use on new servers (that don't already have an ~/.ssh directory:
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh user@hostname "mkdir ~/.ssh/; cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
*OR*
ssh user@hostname "mkdir ~/.ssh/; echo `cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub` >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
