The Pytin Project

Pytin is the collection of a datacenter management utils, used internally in justhost.ru.

We just started to publish our sources. Several projects will be rewritten in Python (such as tasks, port them to Celery), so the publishing process is not fast ;)

Bash scripts are need to be refactored and documented to be useful outside justhost.ru.
