[BangPypers] Redirection of standard output to a variable

[KartheeK]

Hi Rishabh,

Unfortunately the remote servers that house these config files do not have them on either www or ftp, my only mode of access is scp
This was a good learning for me , i did not know that something like urllib existed..

Thanks for the inputs

them to download your file, save it and process any meta (header) info
returned.

[2] - http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html

Best,

Rishabh
