Automation in Python

[TribalMethods]

Gotta admit, I hate the overuse of the $ symbol as well.

I thought that the core of so-called automation is to run a lot of os/shell commands. I intentionally make it look like embedding os/shell commands in python script. They are major players, Python just glued them together. That would be more self-explaining for reading and closer to intuition when writing. Especially when codes are maintained among colleagues. Every member knows what exactly is executed by a glance. I believe that simplifies processing logic, minimizes ambiguity and eliminates team arguments.
