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:
