I am currently working on Python programming language for automating few basic things. I am learning Python for networking from https://www.udemy.com/python-programming-for-real-life-networking-use/learn/ (https://www.udemy.com/python-programming-for-real-life-networking-use/learn/) and PyNet by Kirk byers.
I am starting this thread to explore things which we can automate in Networking.
So here is my "I wish" thing:
I wish calculating subnet was automated.
Respond with yours :)
My Job.
How is the Kirk Byers course? I saw his post on Reddit, and signed up for his email class, but have not actually read any of the email.

Calculating subnet is just a short snippet of code. Sure it would be handy to have automated but it's easily included.

I would recommend Udemy course above everything! Kirk Byers course is good as well. I started reading all his emails since last weekend :)
Practice Kirk Byers exercises and then definitely go for Udemy course.

True :) I have also started working on SSH/Telnet configuration from Udemy course. It is really great and basic subnet calculator is a stepping stone I feel for all the PyNet applications.

I'll take this once they have another $10 sale, they have alot of them.
BACK TO WHAT YOU WISH WAS AUTOMATED.
AS IN: I WISH GETTING THREADS BACK ON TOPIC WAS AUTOMATED.
:facepalm1:
Moved the Ansible-Python-Cloudvision stuff to another thread. Then deleted it. Feel free to discuss that stuff in a new thread, but let's not trash-talk the technology, mmmmkay?
I Wish ________ was automated in networking? Feel free to add what you do on a daily basis and wish it was automated so that you can spend more time on learning about other new things :D
P.S. I want to develop scripts that might help you :)
er, it kinda is...... pythonic example:
>>> from netaddr import *
>>> ip = IPNetwork('192.168.1.1/24')
>>> ip.netmask
IPAddress('255.255.255.0')
>>> ip.network
IPAddress('192.168.1.0')
>>> ip.broadcast
IPAddress('192.168.1.255')
I wish the political process to receive a decision at the executive level was automated.

Realize that and you might just win a Nobel prize.

I find my job much less stressful when I treat it like it is. I just measure the execution time in months, put some error checking, and timeout code around it to resubmit the job if needed. I just make it a child process, and continue with the main branch of doing my job. When the function returns a value I can move forward.
I find that most of the boring parts of my job can be automated. However, it isn't just get script from internet, and stick it in a cron job. Even if the script exists on the internet it will require a lot of customization to match our environment. The time it takes to do that is why it hasn't been done. I slowly chip away at these till one day I will come to work, and not have anything to do.
