Compiled .py files (.pyc) cautions

Running compiled python scripts (.pyc files) could cause issues if the python version that compiled the script is different from the python version running the script.

Python version X compiles test.py into test.pyc.
Python version Y runs test.pyc.

This could cause issues if X and Y are different.

RHEL TCP/IP Enable

By default, Redhat will have TCP/IP connections blocked. I used the following commands to open some ports for TCP/IP connections.

 > firewall-cmd --zone=dmz --add-port=1861/tcp --permanent 

Repeat this command with [public,home] in the <zone> option. There is a chance that a different default zone is being used. Check firewalld.conf to see which zone is default, and make sure to enable it for that.

The port number is whatever port you want to have open for connections, and --permanent will make this change... permanent. Leave this option out if you only want a temporary connection for testing. You'll need to run > firewall-cmd --reload to have these changes take effect.
