Python 2.4.3
Writing a function that takes the string from "ssh <server> ls -l
/var/log/yum.log" and tries to see if the file is more than a couple months
old. The goal is to only run python on the local server and it will ssh
into the remote server.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

Standard type of string that would come in date_string:
New file:
-rw------- 1 sam users 105 Jun 19 13:57 guido2
Old file:
-rw------- 1 sam users 105 May 19 2011 guido

def linux_too_old(date_string):
'''(string) -> boolean
Returns True if the date string is more than a couple months old.
'''
months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug',
'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
this_month = datetime.date.today().month
file_date = date_string.split()
if ':' not in file_date[7]:
return True
file_month = file_date[5]
if 0 < (this_month - months.index(file_month)) < 3:
return False
