import RPLib

sdeOwner = "C:/GIS/SDEADMIN@GIS.sde"

import RPLib

sdeOwner = "C:/GIS/SDEADMIN@GIS.sde"
createVersions_List = ['JOHNDOE','JANEDOE','JOHNSMITH','JANESMITH']

if RPLib.createversions(sdeOwner,createVersions_List):
    print("successful, run another tool")
else:
    print("failed, run another tool")
