"""
This is a Python script intended to be used with the "python_scripting.py" cmd2 example application.

To run it you should do the following:
    ./python_scripting.py
    run_pyscript scripts/conditional.py directory_path

Note: The "app" function is defined within the cmd2 embedded Python environment and in there "self" is your cmd2
application instance. Note: self only exists in this environment if self_in_py is True.
