Favorite Python System Administration Examples

I'm giving a talk at LISA this year, and while the slides are ready I
would like to go armed with as many examples of good system
administration code as possible.

If you have a favorite administration tool that you wouldn't mind me
using I'd love to know about it. Feel free to email me personally or
submit via the list.

regards
Steve

You might look at the presentation (and code samples) David M. Beazley
gave at PyCon focusing on using Python generators to automate sysadm
tasks. http://www.dabeaz.com/generators/index.html

There's lots of good stuff on Tim Golden's site (for Windows) that
I've used and modified the past couple of years:

This is somewhat a NEWBIE question... My company maintains a small RDBS driven website. We currently generate HTML using PHP. I've hacked a bit in Python, and generally think it is a rather cool language. I've done Perl and like it, there are a few features of PHP I like but overall am not too excited about it. I have found PHP's strtotime() function to be quite flexible and handy and we make liberal use of it. I have not yet really...

Hi All, For the past few months I have been working on an open source Apache/PHP/MySQL content management system - and have recently made it available for download. It's still very much a work in progress (current release version is 0.4.6), but you should get a very good idea of what it's about by visiting the site (which uses it, funnily enough), or downloading a copy of it and trying it out.

Several people asked me for the following HOWTO, so I decided to post it here (though it is still very 'alpha' and might contain many (?) mistakes; didn't test what I wrote, but wrote it - more or less - during my own installation of Python 2.3 on Fedora Core 1 Linux for a friend of mine). Anyway, HTH, L.

I did it. I proposed python as the main language for our next CAD/CAM software because I think that it has all the potential needed for it. I'm not sure yet if the decision will get through, but something I'll need in this case is some experience-based set of rules about how to use python in this context. For example... is defining readonly attributes in classes worth the hassle ? Does duck-typing scale well in complex

Linux Journal annually polls its readers on questions such as their favorite programming language. In the 2005 poll, Python is 2nd, its highest ranking ever. Below are the results by year. I wish that rankings beyond the first 3 were available and that the number of votes were shown. Nerds like numbers, not journalist blather :). I found this data for earlier years by Googling "linux journal <yyyy> readers choice awards". 2005

I am a long-time user of Perl who comes to you in peace and is evaluating different scripting languages for use as a scripting platform for system administrators on the Windows platform. Perl already has many modules that allow sys admins and devolpers to do lots of things with the Windows OS, and I'm wondering what the state of the art is with Python and being able to control and administer a windows environment. In this regard, how does...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
