[TriLUG] Do a lot of you program in Python?

[Greg Brown]

I took a class at a local tech school (and I've done some training via
iTunes U) but I can't find a working solution for one thing that will allow
me to displace perl and expect at my job which is something I'd like to do
in order to make Python my main language.

And since I'm on the topic that thing is forked process management.  I have
a network consisting of ~10,000 devices and in order to run a job against
all of those devices and have it complete within a reasonable amount of
time I need to fork about 15 or 20 processes at a time, ssh or telnet to
each one, do whatever needs to be done to the devices then move on to the
next one.

Basically I need to replace this perl module in python:
http://search.cpan.org/~szabgab/Parallel-ForkManager-1.06/lib/Parallel/ForkManager.pm

I don't return to work until the 13th and all my working examples are on a
server at work so I can't copy and paste anything more relevant at this
point.
