Customizing a linux distribuition using Python

[Antoine Logean]

Hi,

After having installed Linux (RedHat) on a PC I want to automate all the 
post-installation tasks. A lot of shell and perl scripts exist to do 
this. But I want to have something purelly object oriented where I can 
define the differents tasks in an abstract manner. Is that something in 
this direction in Python ? So any information concerning Linux (Unix) 
system administration and Python would interest me.

Thanks for your help

Antoine
