+1: Begin by importing the condor and classad modules from a python interpreter.

+<b>Note: some distributions require you import the module as <i>htcondor</i></b>
+</html>
+1: Declare a collector with an IP address/hostname.
+1: Locate a scheduler by applying the 'locate' method on the collector object.
+1: Parse a classad file with the classad library's .parse() method. (Note: these are raw classad files. They are similar to submit files, but vary in interesting ways. condor_q -l xx.xx will display the classad data for a particular job.)
+1: Using the .submit method to submit the file to the appropriate scheduler.
