Is anyone here using Python in system administration? Better yet,
is anyone also writing about it?
The Gentoo folks have it so that their entire package management
system is built in Python. That's fairly heavy system administration
, right? The main problem with using Python for stuff like this is
that it's not guaranteed to be there, while /bin/sh is. (You see a
lot of tired old Unix admins griping about the Linux users putting
bash-specific things in their scripts, for example....)
