It's too easy to trip over subtle automated dependencies, especially the "python" dependencies, in environments where older and newer pythons are being tested out. >> FWIW using a CLI interface to automate things is imo the wrong >> approach if there is an api that can be used instead (cleaner, less >> hacky, more efficient, etc) (and yes this changes here too, because >> the old API was really horrible but that's not the point) > > no idea what is your daily job, sysadmin obviously not > > shell scripts are the Unix way and overall more efficient > just because you write tiny scripts for different tasks > and plug them together - efficient is not only a matter > of runtime measure This is a common approach for people being taught object oriented approaches: they're taught that the sophisticated top down approach will resolve a lot of problems. But the layers of abstraction, themselves, introduce profound fragilities. It's *amazing* the absurdities that are committed by sophisticated GUI's and API's on top of what is actually a small set of binary commands and can be a small set of well defined shell wrappers.
