[K12OSN] user account scripts

[Huck]

here is a python script I wrote to do it...
you can modify it to do what you need...
it takes:

a text file with

lastname firstname

no punctuation...a single space between names...and each person on a new 
line...

run 'python ltspname.py' hit 1,2,3,4  in that order
if you have a 'usernames.txt' file...you can edit around lines 17 and 
25..not exactly sure as I don't have it in an editor atm.. where it says 
/store/usernames.txt and /store/studentlist.txt

and make those files whichever you want...in menu_choice 1 is the INPUT 
file...and menu_choice 2 & 3 has the path to the OUTPUT file

it makes the default password the same as their username for simplicity.
