Here is copy paste, plain text:

    194  if __name__ == "__main__":
        ⋮
    197      cfg = load_config(args.config)
    198 +    fetcher = MockFetcher(args.current) if args.current else None
    199 +
    200      if args.hostdisiNone:
        ⋮
    203              print_host_info(hostname,pall_info[hostname])
  [… 66 lines] ctrl + a view all
