[Python] Class topic possibility

[Seth Bearden]

Yes! This sounds amazing. I would love to see how all of these tools can be
used/interact in one project...regex...shell scripts too.

I'm not sure what this means, but I would like to find out:
- How to use SSH OR user data to initialize the instance once it's been
created so customizations can be added to new instance rather than keeping
a system running

I'll ride through the rain for this and bring a shiny red apple for the
teachers desk:)
