provided in the `ocf.py` library.
-Agents written in Python should be ideally compatible both with Python
-2.7+ and Python 3.3+.
+Agents written in Python should be compatible with Python 3.6+.
The library provides various helper constants and functions, a logging
implementation as well as a run loop and metadata generation facility.

* `ocf_exit_reason`: Prints the exit error string to stderr.
* `have_binary`: Returns True if the given binary is available.
* `is_true`: Converts an OCF truth value to a Python boolean.
+* `is_probe`: Returns True when running a probe action. Used to return

* `get_parameter`: Looks up the matching `OCF_RESKEY_` environment variable.

* `Agent`: Class which helps to generate the XML metadata.
* `run`: OCF run loop implementation.
