Linux usermanagement
Just me again with another question
Is there anyone who knows if there's a library for user/group management under linux? I don't want to do os.system() calls all the times ...

I don't think so.. unless there is a library that has been coded in python, but as far as i know your best bet would be using the group executable binary

The next problem is, how to implement?
Is there maybe a general interface through a c-library? I don't think that i am the first with this problem.. But i don't find any relevant articles.

I want an easy and save access to unix passwd/shadow and groups file and functions like user.addToGroup('xy') or user.removeFromGroup('xy') ... This would be nice. Just a pwdb interface

Ok,
i've searched the whole night for an acceptable solution and i found a way through libshadow.
I'll now try to write a class which grants access to the usermanagement through this libs. If anyone is interested and needs such a class to o leave me a message i'll try to adapt your suggestions.
