move_workbook_projects.py

####
# This script demonstrates how to use the Tableau Server API
# to move a workbook from one project to another. It will find
# a workbook that matches a given name and update it to be in
# the desired project.
#
# To run the script, you must have installed Python 2.7.9 or later.
