Salt is a powerful remote execution manager that can be used to administer servers in a fast and efficient way.

Salt allows commands to be executed across large groups of servers. This means systems can be easily managed, but data can also be easily gathered. Quick introspection into running systems becomes a reality.

Remote execution is usually used to set up a certain state on a remote system. Salt addresses this problem as well, the salt state system uses salt state files to define the state a server needs to be in.

Between the remote execution system, and state management Salt addresses the backbone of cloud and data center management.

Pyfilesystem is a Python module that provides a simplified common interface to many types of filesystem. Filesystems exposed via Pyfilesystem can also be served over the network, or 'mounted' on the native filesystem.

Pyfilesystem simplifies working directories and paths, even if you only intend to work with local files. Differences in path formats between platforms are abstracted away, and you can write code that sand-boxes any changes to a given directory.

Pyfilesystem works with Linux, Windows and Mac.

This program is an "inotify cron" system. It consists of a daemon and a table manipulator. You can use it a similar way as the regular cron. The difference is that the inotify cron handles filesystem events rather than time periods.
