This is a collection of arbitrary scripts for mainly maintenance purposes.

The scripts are not callable via web interface.

Use them (for instance) like so::

    $ ./bin/kofa-debug
    >>> from waeup.kofa.scripts import add_field_index
    >>> add_field_index(root['aaue'], 'things_catalog', 'new_id')

Use at your own risk.
