Would Python make a good substitute for the Windows command-line/batch scripts?

Question

I\'ve got some experience with Bash, which I don\'t mind, but now that I\'m doing a lot of Windows development I\'m needing to do basic stuff/write basic scripts using the Wind

@BKB definitely has a valid concern. Here's a couple links you'll want to check if you run into any issues that can't be solved with the standard library:

• Pywin32 is a package for working with low-level win32 APIs (advanced file system modifications, COM interfaces, etc.)
• Tim Golden's Python page: he maintains a WMI wrapper package that builds off of Pywin32, but be sure to also check out his "Win32 How Do I" page for details on how to accomplish typical Windows tasks in Python.
