    Customizing a linux distribuition using Python

    Hi,

    After having installed Linux (RedHat) on a PC I want to automate all the
    post-installation tasks. A lot of shell and perl scripts exist to do
    this. But I want to have something purelly object oriented where I can
    define the differents tasks in an abstract manner. Is that something in
    this direction in Python ? So any information concerning Linux (Unix)
    system administration and Python would interest me.

    Thanks for your help

    Antoine

      Since you're on RedHat, take a look at some of their administration
      scripts (many of which are in Python) for some inspiration. Just doing
      a 'find /usr/share -name "*.py"' should be enough to get you started.
      Note that not all of their Python scripts have a .py suffix.
