series modules. They can help you a lot. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000>You can also take a look into a 'Python
Developer's Handbook' by André Lessa. It presents some small examples for many
modules from standard library. <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=479303813-18022003>I'm a newbie and I
just wanted to ask a straightforward question regarding Python. I've
been asked to develop a small browser based utility that regularly scans
multiple Windows 2000 fileservers and picks up settings (eg disk space,
services running, registry key values, etc) and dumps them into an
HTML/XML/ASP file, and I've been told that Python could do this. I've
had a look at some examples of Python, but they really are basic; variables,
functions, that kind of thing, so I don't really know how to get started on
this.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=479303813-18022003>Could anyone tell
me a) if this is possible in Python and b) where I could find good reference
material for pulling such stuff out of a Windows box. I'm not new to
programming, but my recent experience is in HTML, ASP and
Javascript.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
