How do I use bugzilla's webservice xml-rpc with python?

I need to know how to log into bugzilla using python. I have no idea where to start. The only requirement I got is that I have to use bugzilla's webservice xml-rpc. I also have no experience with python. So could anyone tell me the basic steps I need to take to import bugzilla using python? Thanks.
I have python installed on linux and can run code like print "hello world!". But I did not download any additional plugins.
Do I need this plugin: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bugzilla/1.1.0?

Finally figured it out:
bz = bugzilla.Bugzilla(url='https://bugzilla.redhat.com/xmlrpc.cgi')
bug = bz.getbug(495561)

How to put any file in artifactory using python?

I have a requirement where any file should be put in the artifact using python language. I tried to search all over internet but I couldn't find any help.
Please share code snippet or something which can help me to achieve this.
Any help is greatly appreciated here.

Artifactory python module can be used to upload artifacts into artifactory.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/artifactory/0.1.17
Here is an example from the website used to upload a file into artifactory:
from artifactory import ArtifactoryPath
path = ArtifactoryPath("http://my-artifactory/artifactory/libs-snapshotlocal/myapp/1.0")
path.mkdir()
path.deploy_file('./myapp-1.0.tar.gz')

The defend against fruit project provides the integration with Artifactory and Python you are looking for.

Artifactory exposes a REST API. Here's a link to the documentation. See the section on "Deploy Artifact".
Basically you will need to build a REST client. There might already exist one for Artifactory? If you need to write it yourself there is a WADL file that might make things easier (see also wadllib).

Py2App How to use

How does one exactly use Py2App, which creates standalone applications for python. I downloaded it, but have no idea what to do next, what to install, etc...

All the documentation is here, found with a simple Google search:
http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html
Why not read that first, before you ask other people to spend time helping you out?

Flowchart to script converter

Is there any open source tool capable to generate python or perl scripts from a flowchart? AFAIK, Labview is the only tool really able to do this. I need this in order to simplify scripting for low-technical-skilled users.
Any other suggestion is welcome. Thanks!
EDITED:
For anyone interested in this subject, I've found Drakon Editor, a nice graphical code composer for Python, C/C++ and Tcl:

What about following tools for Perl:
Perl Node Interface
VECT - although this is quite specialized

I suppose Perl module Devel::Graph will help you, please check it.
I hope that what are you looking for.
CPAN module Devel::Graph

Jythonc missing

I just installed Jython 2.5.1. I want to convert my Python file into Java class file and it is instructed on the website to use the jythonc command-line tool but I can't find it. Does anyone know where I could find it?
Basically what i was trying to accomplish is to get my Python code running client-side in a browser and the best way seemed to be by creating an applet using Jython. I don't want to create a desktop application and using Silverlight/IronPython is out of the question. Any other ideas are welcomed.
Cheers!

You can still compile your python-code to class-files:
import compileall;
compileall.compile_dir('Lib'); # to compile yor Lib-Dir
should work with 2.5 jython
i use it to create class-files to put in jars :-)

Jythonc was removed in Jython 2.2 and is no longer supported. The official way to embed Jython code in Java is to create an instance of the interpreter to run the Jython code directly. There is an article on this here.
Personally I preferred the jythonc method and hope it will be reinstated in a future version of Jython, even though it had a number of issues.
