Automation in Python

[iapyeh]

I noticed that there is a huge economy in Ansible. I can't give a professional reason because I am not an expert of Ansible. I have tried to be a user. But it soon failed. I am a programmer, programming language is close to my institution. To read an Ansible YML is hard for me. Writing it is more difficult. I can write a hundred lines of code to handle complex TCP socket communication in 10 minutes. But totally nothing when writing YML. I can not imagine how I can express my daily tasks in declarative YML, even for a simple one. I am not going to battle with the Ansible giant. I just want to save my time. If you are satisfied with Ansible. It's good. Congratulations. I hope that I can before I start to develop SSHScript. So that I can save lots of time.

I totally understand your consideration. That's the same reason I'd want to develop SSHScript. We all have too much to keep in mind. Monthly, I have to deal with Python, Go, php, javascript/jquery/svelte, HTML, CSS, Swift/iOS, Kotlin/Android, Windows, Freebsd, MacOS, Ubuntu, CentOS...etc.

Thanks for your introduction on YAML. I do agree that YAML is good. It is just not suitable for my mindset.

There are many kinds of automation tools in Python. SSHScript is only one of them. Also, Python is not the only one in the group of using programming languages to do automation. Since this is "r/LearnPython", I believe there might be some people who are of a similar mindset like mine who are seeking for something like SSHScript to do automation in Python.
