Ask HN: What Python automation scripts do you reuse frequently at work?

• nextrelease

With python, it's more about simplifying the entire process (a.k.a. making it pythonic). In my experience, it tends to be a wrapping mechanism around some binary or api so it's hard to pin point "an exact script everyone runs". Some are clean up scripts that clear out caches manually (until a fix can be pushed), others (like this one https://gitlab.com/sunset-crew/nextrelease) wrap git so you don't need to remember all the things associated with pushing a release and/or tag. Ansible, though it's made in python it's kinda it's own langauge, might be a good place to look if you want scripts that are generic enough for everyone to use.
