| == Systems Management and Administration == * Many GNU/Linux distributions use Python to manage resources and packages: * In many programs and components in the Ubuntu distributions (and related services): "Ubuntu prefer the community to contribute work in Python." ([[http://www.ubuntu.com/community/developerzone/bounties|Ubuntu bounties for Python work]]) * [[http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1|Reconstructor]] for Ubuntu and [[http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/|Revisor]] for Fedora - applications which let users customise their GNU/Linux distribution CDs - are both written in Python * Red Hat's up2date tool (the pulsating red dot) * [[http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/|yum]] provides software updates for Fedora and other distributions * [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock|mock]] and [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague|plague]] controls the building of the packages in the Fedora operating system. * Fedora and Red Hat's installer, [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda|Anaconda]] (notice the clever python tie-in on the name). * Gentoo Linux ''relies'' on Python since the [[http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/|Portage]] package management system is written in Python * Pardus uses Python extensively: [[http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/projects/comar/PythonInPardus.html|"Python in Pardus"]] * HP Compaq / IBM preinstalled Python on a series of computers for some administration tasks |
