Hi,  
I just wanted to share a [github repo](https://github.com/SolaceLabs/makeuoft-hackathon) that was created in support of a hackathon earlier this year. It shows how to quickly get started using Python and MQTT on an IoT device such as Raspberry PI. If you don’t have a device it also includes a script that simulates a sensor [here](https://github.com/SolaceLabs/makeuoft-hackathon/blob/master/raspberrypi2solace/publish/virtual_solace_publish_json.py).

? Bonus points for anyone that re-writes the scripts using the new [Python SMF API](https://pypi.org/project/solace-pubsubplus/)
