Release NotesPython is an ideal language for solving problems, especially in Linux and Unix
networks. With this pragmatic book, administrators can review various tasks that
often occur in the management of these systems, and learn how Python can provide
a more efficient and less painful way to handle them. Each chapter in Python for
Unix and Linux System Administration presents a particular administrative issue,
such as concurrency or data backup, and presents Python solutions through hands
-on examples. Once you finish this book, you'll be able to develop your own set
of command-line utilities with Python to tackle a wide range of problems.
Discover how this language can help you: Read text files and extract information
Run tasks concurrently using the threading and forking options Get information
from one process to another using network facilities Create clickable GUIs to
handle large and complex utilities Monitor large clusters of machines by
interacting with SNMP programmatically Master the IPython Interactive Python
shell to replace or augment Bash, Korn, or Z-Shell Integrate Cloud Computing
into your infrastructure, and learn to write a Google App Engine Application
Solve unique data backup challenges with customized scripts Interact with MySQL,
SQLite, Oracle, Postgres, Django ORM, and SQLAlchemy With this book, you'll
learn how to package and deploy your Python applications and libraries, and
write code that runs equally well on multiple Unix platforms. You'll also learn
about several Python-related technologies that will make your life much easier.
