Hi all, I'm learning the python language and i'm trying to create a user if it is not found in the system. I figured it out by doing the following thing :
>>> def finduser(user): ... for line in open('/etc/passwd'): ... if line.startswith(user): ... print user, "user exists" ... return True ... return False >>> if not finduser('myuser'): ... print "Creating user myuser" ... os.system('/usr/sbin/useradd myuser') But i think it's a dirty way to do so. Is there another way to manage users with python ? Thank you :) Sam
