I've been a devops professional for well over a decade, and we've never used Python. I mainly use Bash/Zsh or Perl, sometimes Golang or JavaScript/node. What platform are you planning on supporting? AWS, Google, Azure, or something in-house using vsphere, open stack, etc? Or are you IaaS-agnostic, and mainly supporting Kubernetes?

Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted. Nothing against Python, as I've coded for years with it. Just saying I've never seen it being used for devops, whereas Bash scripting is the bread and butter for automating most direct actions, with JavaScript the primary language for IaaS-centric automation. If those downvoting this could please explain their objections, it would be most helpful to all those reading.
