NetworkManager: Using dispatcher to connect to vpn

I am following the wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager and I got to the section "Use dispatcher to connect to a vpn after a network-connection is established " on step 2 of that section. I have to create a .py thing here, but the link to the code is broken. Does anyone know the code for this?

Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

This might work:

But... It is Python2, so you will need to either (1) port it to Python 3 or (2) change the crunch-bang target in the first line to python2.  This, of course, means you need Python 2 installed.

Ok, cool, so I'm guessing I use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages to downgrade Python after I "pacman -S python"?

Edit: Nevermind, I found out how to get Python 2
