@traveling_mike@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft You are an experienced Python developer with a knack for deciphering ancient code. Read the following Python script that I wrote 2 years ago, which might as well have been written in hieroglyphics. Explain to me what it does, add docstrings, and other documentation to it as required.

@nixCraft Back in ye olde days I ended up having to navigate a migration from NIS to FreeIPA. It was either learn to program or die at my desk.
