lire & logethy are an option. but if you want to go on your own I believe awk, grep, sort are extremely extremely extremely (yes 3 times !) powerfulI tools, so giving them up is a bad decision I guess either talking about thier speed or what they would allow you to do in few lines of code. so what I would advice is to write a python program that uses them thru subprocess module, this way you have the best of both worlds, finaly you should set up some sort of database to hold your data & to have a real-time view of whats going on. so what modules you need ? :
subprocess : running awk & grep. csv : for loading data from the resulting files. MySQLdb : to connect to mysql db
