I assumed we were talking about scripting. Are we not?

I'm dead serious. I've done quite a lot of bash scripting on
Linux and one of the reasons I'm currently learning Python is to
get rid of bash for this purpose. I'd prefer to use a full
fledged programming language with decent data structures,
exception handling, classes etc.

So that's why I was wondering why someone would want to
Pythonize bash. I gather this is only for interactive use.
