Python script template

pyscript.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""
A simple python script template.

Get me like this:

    curl -s 'https://dl.dropbox.com/s/n9ssyqb0ndbm32l/script.py?dl=1' > newname.py

Or in your [ba|z]sh.login:

    function pyscript(){
        # Write contents of a simple python script template to stdout.
        curl -s 'https://dl.dropbox.com/s/n9ssyqb0ndbm32l/script.py?dl=1'
    }

And this is really fun:

    pyscript | python - -h
