* How does Python compare in performance to shell, awk etc in a big
pipeline? The shell script kills the CPU
Python should be significantly faster than the typical shell script
and it should consume less resources, although it will probably
still use a fair bit of CPU unless you nice it.
* What's the best way to extract the data for a given time, eg 0000 -
2359 yesterday?
I'm not familiar with Apache log files so I'll let somebody else answer,
but I suspect you can either use string.split() or a re.findall(). You
might
even be able to use csv. Or if they are in XML you could use ElementTree.
It all depends on the data!
