Nope, it usually mentions *nix workarounds etc Most of it is OS neutral. The OS and IPC topic are mainly Unix centric. > without proving it at all. All the examples I wanted were done better in > shell/sed/awk. I use Python a lot but I still use sed and awk for what they are good at. Using the Right Tool for the Job is still a sound maxim. Python is a general programmjing language great for bigger jobs. If you just want to run a sequience of unix commands shell is better. If you want simple but bulk text manipulation awk or sed are best.
