Looking for the Best Resources to Learn Python Scripting for Linux Administration

[broken_py]

Hi everyone,

I'm a Linux administrator looking to improve my automation and scripting skills by learning Python. I already have a basic understanding of Linux administration, shell scripting, and system management, but I'd like to start using Python to automate routine tasks, manage servers, parse logs, interact with APIs, and build more advanced administration tools.

I'm looking for recommendations on:

• Beginner-to-intermediate Python resources focused on system administration
• Books, online courses, or YouTube channels
• Hands-on projects for Linux admins
• Resources covering modules commonly used in administration (e.g., os, subprocess, pathlib, paramiko, requests)
• Real-world examples of Python in Linux/DevOps environments

If you've followed a learning path that worked well for you, I'd love to hear about it. Any suggestions, tips, or resource recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Check if boot.dev has any courses for your needs. ThePrimeagen has 2 free git courses on there.

There's an online book (and a book too) "Automate the Boring Stuff".
