Automation Toolbox

Python · Bash · PowerShell · Ansible

Placeholder for Python, Bash and PowerShell material, and other CLI snippets that I want to keep track of, for future reference and educational purposes.

Some of the resources were used for:

• Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate.
• Network Automation Professional Certificate by Arista Networks.

Pythonic modules cheat sheet:

Multiprocessing (CPU-bound tasks):

from multiprocessing import Pool

Thread and process pool executors:

from concurrent import futures

Asynchronous I/O:

import asyncio

async def main():
    print('Hello ...')
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print('... World!')

asyncio.run(main())

Guppy:

from guppy import hpy
h = hpy()
print h.heap()

Beautiful Soup:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

MSTICPy (>v3.8, if working on local, create a virtual environment first):

import msticpy as mp

NumPy ("pip3 install matplotlib" on virtual environment):

import numpy as np

PyTorch (>v3.8, if CUDA support is needed with NVIDIA GPUs, check the Tensors documentation):

import torch
torch.cuda.is_available()

Pandas (>v3.9, use Anaconda to install the PyData stack. This includes Matplotlib, NumPy, SciPy, etc):
