python for *nix system admins

[Lars Stavholm]

Hi All,

I'm new to this list and hoping that this is not off-topic.
If it is, please point me in the right direction.

I seem to recollect a python module or library for *nix sysadmins,
but I can't for the life of me find it again.

The module (or library) somehow added unix command capabilities
to the python language. It seemed like a lesser known, perhaps new,
python library or module.

Any input or ideas appreciated
