from playdoh import *


# It can also be a list of server IP addresses
servers = 'localhost'

# Allocate automatically the maximum number of resources on the
# specified servers
alloc = allocate(servers)

# alloc is an Allocation object, it can be used as a dictionary
for machine, count in alloc.iteritems():
    print "%d CPUs allocated on machine %s" % (count, str(machine))
