Re: How do *you* use Python in non-GUI work?

On May 18, 5:20*pm, John Salerno <johnj...@NOSPAMgmail.comwrote:
Hey all. Just thought I'd ask a general question for my own interest. Every time I think of something I might do in Python, it usually involves creating a GUI interface, so I was wondering what kind of work you all do with Python that does *not* involve any GUI work. This could be any little scripts you write for your own benefit, or what you do at work, if you feel like talking about that! :)

Thanks.
Most of my non-GUI stuff is login scripts and registry editing. I also
have some scripts that can install various programs silently, such as
Adobe Reader or Firefox. This is for work purposes as we have a
specific set of applications that need to be installed on each
machine.
