It depends on what you need to do. If you really have enough machines or long-running jobs that a shell loop through them isn't practical, you might want something higher-level like cfengine or puppet, or at least something running under cron to make them independent.
cfengine or puppet (or something else - slackmaster?) are where I want to be eventually - but in the immediate term something like this would help a lot. e.g bouncing my 4 front-end apache servers on 4 different boxes. That sort of thing.
I was actually going to start another "configuration management redux" thread as a follow up to a thread I started a few months ago.

This is another interesting tool: https://fedorahosted.org/func/
Python just seems like something that should be avoided in system management tools. Remember having to do special case things like having to 'yum update python* yum*' sometimes to keep the rest of an update from breaking?
