I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
I use Python pretty regularly for automating systems administration type stuff, both by writing my own scripts (I much prefer Python for text processing over sed or awk, it's much more readable), or by utilizing (popular) tools written in Python like Ansible.
Python is actually really good for this type of thing because it's both much safer (in terms of stuff like error handling) and more powerful than shell script, but still very easy to learn and use.
