Sooo, you're saying I should automate myself out the job? :hehe:

Seriously though, I use Python myself. It's insanely powerful and I use it for everything that I can, especially as the pipes for a number of my ETL systems involving API's that live in *inx based environments.

But the main reasons I use Python for automation is the fact that I can also integrate it into applications and be used natively across platforms without heavy costs that powershell may bring with it. I also use it because Python is one of the leading languages with support for data science where R (domain specific versus general purpose) or the costs of SAS (small business versus large corporation) may are not an option.
