"""
     abac_attr.py

     To demonstrate how to use ABAC's api in python 
  
     call:   attr_abac IceCream_ID.pem IceCream_private.pem IceCream_attr.xml Chocolate_ID.pem
  
     pre-conditions: generate IceCream_ID.pem and IceCream_private.pem with
             creddy --generate --cn IceCream
                     generate Chocolate_ID.pem and Chocolate_private.pem with
             creddy --generate --cn Chocolate
  
     This program will generate an attribute rule, write it out to an external
             file and also load it into the context (prolog db)
             IceCream.delicious <- Chocolate
  
     Then, a query is made against the context to see if it is populated correctly.
  
     Note: Chocolate's principal is loaded without it private key. It does not
           need to because it is not being used to generate attribute credential
