        statuspi.py
        ===========
        
        A simple headless status box utility for the Raspberry Pi.  Released
        under the GPL.
        
        Setup
        -----
        
        Download the script, then install the GPIO library::
        
            sudo pip install rpi.gpio
        
        Then write your own python script to define when you want your LED to
        illuminate.  This script will be called with a five second delay each time.
        When your script returns 1, the LED will illuminate; when the script
        returns anything else, the light will turn off.
        
        Finally, wire up the LED to pin 18 and ground.  For you non-hardware types,
        here's a quick explanation:  connect the longer lead of the LED to GND,
        and the shorter lead to an empty space on your breadboard.  Connect that
        shorter lead to a 220 Ohm or greater resistor, and connect the other end of
        the resistor to the pin on your breakout board that reads '#18'.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        This script **must** be run as su, or the GPIO library won't be able to
        access the hardware correctly.  Usage is as follows::
        
            sudo python statuspi.py <your script>
        
        To do
        -----
        
        - Gracefully closing the GPIO library
        - Allowing the use of multiple scripts and multiple LEDs through a yaml
            config file
        - Customizable repeat time for scripts
