Problem this snippet solves:

This script is for creating GTM Regions at US State level. Can be modified for other region use cases. pyControl v2 required!

How to use this snippet:

Usage

gtmregions.py --device <hostname|IP> --username -- Will return current regions and their contents gtmRegions.py --device <hostname|IP> --username --create_region -- Will create a region named and populate will file contents. File format should contain single item per line with no quotes.

Code :

#!/usr/bin/env python
