Calling All Members! Help me help you use Python.

---

Hello all,
I am turning some ideas for a course over in my head. I think that creating a very purposeful and pointed Python course with the main focus of administration of systems. As a result, what are some tasks that you find yourself doing over and over again that you wish you could automate. I hope that way I can find some ideas for creating one of the next courses.

Thanks!

P.S. Your tasks may not get used exactly, but generating ideas can never have too many inspirations.

Hi, Justin.

When it comes to System Administration, especially in the Linux space, I'm interested in Python as it pertains to using APIs to reach out to other systems and make calls and receive data. I use a lot of BASH and it works for my everyday Linux Sysadmin work, but I find myself needing Python instead when I have to use an API for something. Perhaps some content on Python AWS (Boto3?) integration?

Anyway, you rock, Justin! Love your lectures and the way you explain things.

As far as automating things go, I'd much rather go with the flow and use ansible... But a lesson or five about how to use python to create ansible modules would be helpful... that is, if this course-ware doesn't already exist (i didn't check).

or... Inception... a python program, that creates modules in python, for ansible... Sounds like a course project itself.
