pyFog is a simple API which uses mechanize to complete tasks through the FOG Project web interface. There is example code in the example.py file.
I wrote this API to easily automate a few tasks I need to commonly perform with FOG. If you do not see a function that you need to perform feel free to make a feature request or message me on twitter: @JC_SoCal
