I was wondering if you would give me some examples (not code, but general
ideas) of what you are using Python for in Network Administration / Security
?
Thanks

Hello Norm,
we use python in many places of our company, here only a few examples:
production monitoring ( counting pieces, runtimes of machines,
collecting temperature and humidity informations, general automation
stuff, printing inline barcodes.... )
userinterfaces for different database applications
monitoring of our harddisks in the servers
monitoring of hard/software raid-devices in the servers
many scripts for our mailscanners
the mailproxies are written in python
our knowledge-database / content-management-system is written in python
the flextime of the employees are managed by python programms including
the hardware stuff (badge readers).
user-management-software ( creating unix,ldap,nis,mail and some specific
account for new user, editing them...)
and of course a lot of helping scripts for the daily work.
I think there is a lot of power hidden in this little interpreter, and
there is more possible, as we are currently using.
