Yet, system administration is still tied to the shell and the old
toolset, despite the astounding advantages of moving to a modern
high-level language.
This is where I stopped reading. Python's great, but the shell and the
old toolset is still more useful for many sys. admin. tasks because
the tasks are one off things and each command is typically more
higher-level still than Python, e.g. join(1) and comm(1).
