[Tutor] Suggestion required on python as scripting language

2013-12-08 Thread Shankar Donepudi
Hi All,

I am working as test engineer in Networking in storage domain. We have
decided to automate our testing and have chosen python for the same. We
have basic knowledge on python so can anyone suggest good tutorials for
writing automation scripts using python.

Thanks in advance,
Shanky

As far as I know, there is no specific Python tutorial for writing automation 
scripts! This would be surprising, wouldn't it be? (For the record, automation 
used to be my job domain.) I would just recommend to:

* first look at the documentation page on the python.org site
* follow one or more of advanced tutorials or guides on python one can find 
online
* search for testing in python and explore what you find, as a source of 
inspiration

(If you you find particularly good and interesting things, maybe bring back 
information here on this mailing list, so that it can serve others.)

It might help if you were more specific. What are you testing? What in 
your domain does an automation script do?

As others have mentioned, you will most need to be more specific about
what you are trying to do and any specific problems you are facing. I
am going to take a guess and perhaps a book such Python for Unix and
Linux System Administration [1] may give you some ideas. I also wrote
this article a while ago [2] which is a fairly basic
introduction/treatment of exploring Linux using Python.

aren't so good, but I did go through it and you will likely find
useful things there)

Best,
