I am looking for a scripting language for deployment automation (installing, uninstalling, copying files etc.). Main requirements are: cross-platform, debuggable, good documentation, good IDE (or possible integration with Microsoft Visual Studio). Is Python a good candidate for this? I would appreciate any links to success stories of using Python for such purposes. Also I am interested in gathering the statistics related to the Python popularity

  • Still quite a subjective question, albeit an improvement over your previous version.. I fear this one will be closed shortly as well. – Martijn Pieters Sep 03 '12 at 13:26
  • Python is good for this because you *don't* need an IDE or Visual Studio integration to work with it. – Deestan Sep 03 '12 at 13:27

    FWIW, we use [buildout](http://www.buildout.org/) for our deployment needs, but it's perhaps too specialized for your use cases. Unless you are deploying a python egg-based application, it's probably not what you are looking for. – Martijn Pieters Sep 03 '12 at 13:29
