import ipaddr
import MySQLdb
import rtapi

# Create connection to database
try:
    # Create connection to database
    db = MySQLdb.connect(host='hostname',port=3306, passwd='mypass',db='racktables',user='racktables')
except MySQLdb.Error ,e:
    print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0],e.args[1])
    sys.exit(1)

# Initialize rtapi with database connection
rt = rtapi.RTObject(db)

# List all objects from database
print rt.ListObjects()
