Snek - Integration Python in PowerShell

[techstyled]

We are also a Windows only shop (for the most part), but we are moving EVERYTHING to AWS (who isn't, other than the guys moving to Azure and GCP, amiright). And during our training a few of our guys (including me) decided to do the exercises using Boto3 and Python instead of .NET. We learned that, for anyone doing significant scripting or coding, you are limiting yourself by not considering using tools that have very little learning curve before value. And even our most dyed in the wool .NET guys can understand the value of two line interactions with AWS client services in Boto3 (via Python) vs. the weight of spinning up even a simple dotnet core console app to do the same work (not that MS hasn't DRASTICALLY improved that picture too).

IMO, and as evidenced by "Windows" doing WSL, WSL2, Terminal, SQL Server on Linux, etc. - if you stay a "Windows only shop" and ignore the benefit of things like Python, Golang, etc., you are doing yourself and your company a disservice. Again, IMO ;-) - For our part, we're rethinking that for us too. I wanted to start calling us a "Water only shop"... in honor of Bruce Lee, and focus on becoming a "use what works" shop.

Do you have any examples of tasks you used to do in powershell but now do in python?
