Hello dear Python-community, i'm pretty new to Python. I made a seminar two weeks ago and like to write now a script because if i don't i will have forgotten everything in a few weeks. If this is the wrong place to ask my question please tell me where is the appropriate one. I'm a Sysadmin, not a software developer. We are running a two-node High Availibility cluster on SLES 12 SP4 with virtual machines on it. I wrote a shellscript to create consistent images of the virtual machines each night, using the bash and virsh (the libvirt shell). Script is running fairly fine, but i need to extend it. I'm thinking of rewriting it in python, i think that would be a good practise. Inside the script i'm using things like "virsh start, virsh shutdown, virsh snaphot-list, virsh snapshot, virsh snapshot-delete, virsh domblklist, virsh blockcommit, virsh list, virsh define ..." Can i use all the possibilities i have in virsh in that libvirt-package ?
I'm also creating logfiles, deleting files, sending e-Mails, redirecting stdout and stderr. This shouldn't be a problem in Python ? Thanks.
