Yes, Python is nearly ideal for system administration.
We use it extensively and it even saved us from security troubles
("../../../etc/passwd%00"-exploit, Perl CGI-scripts are so vulnerable to).

Also, sysadmins tend to write-and-forget. With Python, it is easier to
remember what was the idea behind scripts written N years ago ;-)
