The reporting tools will generate a huge numbers of reports/files in the file system (a Unix directory). There's a list of destinations (email addresses and shared folders) where a different set of reports/files (can have overlap) are required to be distributed at each destinations.

Would like to know if there's a way to efficiently manage this reports delivery using shell scripts so that the maintenance of the list of reports and destinations will not become a mess in future.

It's quite an open ended question, the constraint however is that it should work within the boundaries of managing the reports in a Unix FS.

How to create Python module distribution to gracefully fall-back to pure Python code

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I have written a Python module, and I have two versions: a pure Python implementation and a C extension. I've written the __init__.py file so that it tries to import the C extension, and if that fails, it imports the pure Python code (is that reasonable?).
