python and iControl to verify load balancer configurations

I highly recommend moving forward with bigsuds instead instead of pyControl. Not only is it easier to work with native python objects, but it doesn't appear as there will be future support for pyControl:

"Community member L4L7, the author of the pycontrol v2 library, is no longer with F5 and just doesn’t have the cycles to maintain the library going forward. Bigsuds author Garron Moore, however, works in house and will fix bugs and enhance as time allows. Note that all iControl libraries are considered experimental and are not officially supported by F5 Networks."
