Python + bigsuds: What format to create iRule

Ok.... well I figured it out. I pulled an existing irule and saw the format. This is what it looks like when you request an iRule

[{'rule_name': '/Common/myrule.com', 'rule_definition': 'when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {\n        set hsl [HSL::open -proto UDP -pool LOGGINGPOOL_514]\n}  \n when HTTP_REQUEST {\n        if {[HTTP::host] starts_with "somedomain"} {\n                HSL::send $hsl "[clock format [clock seconds] -format "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %z"] F5-log-output httphost=[HTTP::host] URI=[HTTP::uri] refer=[HTTP::header "Referer"]" \n        }\n}\n'}]

I managed to cobble together a script that works! It pulls all irules from one F5 and imports them into another after doing a string replace. We have the same rules in multiple data centers / dev env, and only one portion of the pool is different. This allows me to pull the rules from one F5 to another -- doing a transform before applying them. Here is my working code:

import sys
import bigsuds
import ssl
import getpass
import time

ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

    try:
        return obj.LocalLB.Pool.get_list()
    except Exception, e:
        print e
def get_members(obj, pool):
    try:
        return pool, obj.LocalLB.Pool.get_member_v2(pool)
    except Exception, e:
        print e

    try:
        return obj.LocalLB.Rule.query_rule([rule])
    except Exception, e:
        print e

def create_rule(obj, rule_name, rule_definition):
    try:
        return obj.LocalLB.Rule.create([{'rule_name':rule_name,'rule_definition':rule_definition}])
    except Exception, e:
        print e

try:
    b = bigsuds.BIGIP(
            hostname = "source_load_balancer",
            username = "admin",
            password = "admin",
            )
except Exception, e:
    print e

try:
    c = bigsuds.BIGIP(
            hostname = "target_load_balancer",
            username = "admin",
            password = "admin",
            )
except Exception, e:
    print e

irules = get_rules_list(b)
for rule in irules:
    rule_txt = get_rule(b, rule)
    rule_name = rule_txt[0]["rule_name"]
    rule_definition = rule_txt[0]["rule_definition"].replace("STRING_TO_REPLACE", "REPLACED_VALUE")
    create_rule(c, rule_name, rule_definition)
