Python commands below will print a list of nodes (hostnames only) for
a given SLICE_NAME.

>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> api = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('https://www.planet-lab.org/PLCAPI/')
>>> auth = {'Username':YOUR_EMAIL,'AuthString':YOUR_PASS,'AuthMethod':'password'}
>>> node_ids = api.GetSlices(auth, SLICE_NAME)[0]['node_ids']
>>> [x['hostname'] for x in api.GetNodes(auth, node_ids,['hostname'])]
