The script is to backup policies from each module in Halo. It is strongly recommended that you backup your policy before/after making any changes.

The Halo API only supports more modern versions of OpenSSL. Many python distributions on OSX and Windows contain python executables that were built against older, less secure versions of OpenSSL. If you are having problems connecting using your python distribution you will need to upgrade your system's OpenSSL. For notes on how to do this on OSX with Python 3.5 or 2.7 see the notes in the PYTHON_OPENSSL file.
