Hi,
  I use Python regularly for my sys admin work. I know I could (and maybe 
should!) use shell scripts, but I just get it all done faster and I don't 
really notice any perfomance problems. I've used to set up ssh on a 
cluster, used it to create a simple interface to PBS on our cluster, use it 
for file processing (for our computations) etc.
