Hi, Is it worthwhile maintaining a production application setup script in Python as opposed to shell-script? The main goal of this setup script is to sniff a user's environment and export environment variables to the calling (parent) process. Either way, some file would need to be sourced into the user's environment, so why not use a richer language where the setup logic is independent of the user's shell being used.
Thanks for your feedback, Scott -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
