Just as a thought, we want to get to the point where decision tasks are triggered by hooks listening to pulse messages, at which point this would involve just calling `triggerHook` with the appropriate args.  At which point I will very much want a tool like this to schedule jobs in taskcluster-staging.net.

So, not to say "don't do this now", just thinking ahead..

I'm probably not going to take this any further at the moment. I had already done most of the work, so I thought I'd post it, but I'm not sure it is worth figuring out how to use the taskcluter-python library properly.
