+usage="""The django ORM will be queried with the filters on the commandline. Records
+will be separated with newlines, fields with the specified separator 
+(the default is a comma). Alternatively, a template can be specified which 
+will be passed the result of the query as the 'objects' variable
+
+Query key/value pairs can be prefixed with a '!' to negate it, internally this uses
+a Q object.
+
+Examples:
+ - Display name and assettag of all mc01 servers
+   %prog query name__startswith=mc01 -f name,assettag
+ - Get a list of name, ip, mac for all servers where the does not contain .82.
+   %prog query -m Interface !ip_address__contains='.82.' -f server.name,ip_address,mac_address
+ - Use a template to get the roles, depending on mac address
+   %prog query interface__mac_address=00:17:A4:8D:E6:BC -t '{{ objects.0.role_set.all|join:"," }}'
+
+/!\\ Warning /!\\
+This script does not do much error checking. If you spell your query wrong, or
+do something wrong with templates, you will get a python traceback and not a
+nice error message."""
