[Spacewalk-list] help with api

[wm-lists]

I switched from perl to python for all my api scripts about 3 months ago,
and am working through my existing perl scripts to convert them to python.
python's much easier for working w/ the API as far as I've found...

You probably already know this, but if you are manually inputting the key,
don't forget to include the prefix (1- in my case) to the key..  If you are
using listActivationKeys you should get it anyway with the 'key'.
