I recently posted this sort of question to the c.l.p.m but
didn't get much of a response. I know a little Perl and a
little Python, but master neither at the moment.
I see that Python is a general purpose OO programming language
that finds use among some system administrators, but my guess
is that Perl is still more common in that area than Python.
For sysadmin-related tasks, is Python as useful as Perl, or
does it get clumsy when often dealing with the stuff admins
deal with on a regular basis?
At some point during some dingy job in the back boiler room
of Unix, would you find yourself saying, "geez, I'd wish I
started this with Perl -- Python just isn't cutting it." ?
Thanks,
