Python for Unix and Linux System Administration demonstrates how the Python language offers you a more efficient way to handle various tasks when managing Unix and Linux servers. Each chapter presents a particular administrative issue, such as concurrency or data backup, and offers Python solutions through hands-on examples. You’ll learn to develop your own set of command line utilities with Python to tackle a wide range of problems.
The authors also built a free, downloadable Ubuntu virtual machine that includes the book’s source code and runs examples with SNMP, IPython, SQLAlchemy, and many other utilities.
With this book, you will discover how Python can help you:
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 an Linux platforms.
What started out as a much anticipated book, was soon destroyed by the extremely bad editing. I don't mind a few syntax errors, but on every page!? Furthermore, I dislike when a topic suddenly starts refering to another topic and it is explained 150 pages later!
I could go on, but the quality of O'Reilly books have never been lower than this.
It could have been an outstanding book, but all the mistakes, combined with the sometimes shallow coverage, makes it only Ok.
