Pro Python System Administration

As time goes on, system administrators are presented with

increasingly complicated challenges. In the early days, a

team of engineers might have had to look after one or two

systems. These days, one engineer can administer hundreds

or thousands of systems. System administrators are

gradually replacing their tools with more advanced and

flexible ones. One of the choices is Python.

Structurally, Python is a modern, high-level language

with a very clean syntax. Python comes with many built-in

libraries that can make automation tasks easier. It also

has extensive set of third-party libraries and a very

active development community. This flexibility makes

Python a good choice for a wide variety of tasks, from

prototyping science applications to system maintenance

and administration jobs.
