Which system?  Windows, unix...?

Of course, the standard library itself contains reasonable documentation
for everthing there, which covers a lot of unix stuff, but if that isn't
enough, Beazley's book is often spoken well of, for example.  The O'Reilly
Windows Python book (forget the name) by Hammond and Robinson is essential
for doing anything Windows-specific with Python, and has a chapter or two
on system administration.  Non python-specific books will certainly be
applicable too, of course.  Don't know about the Mac.
