How is this different or better than Steven Black's project?

To be completely fair with you, I didn't know this was out there. Then again, I think my solution is more elegant, especially if all the todo's are finished.

Patching a critical system file with python on a regular basis... What could go wrong?

my first question too. Steve Black's updateHostesFile.py is extensible and can be automated and is well trusted and gets tested by a large community. I don't want to sound critical but would like to understand the value add in comparison. Both are in python as well so I don't get it

I assume you wrote a hello world once or twice, what was the point of that?
