pyControl v1 Show Pool Status

Problem this snippet solves:

This script will print out status info on all pools, or a specific pool (via show_pool_status()). This is for pyControl v1 only. The pyControl v2 version is here

How to use this snippet:

import pycontrol.pyControl as pyControl

#Setup connection
host = 'your_bigip_ip_address'
b = pyControl.BIGIP(
hostname = host, 
username   = 'your_username', 
password   = 'your_password', 
wsdl_files = ['LocalLB.Pool']
)

p  = b.LocalLB_Pool

print "Fetching pool info...\n"
show_all_pools_status(p)

Code :

#!/bin/env python
