For me as well.  In my case, the key question is "is this bash script 
going to be longer than two lines?".  If it would be, the Python 
approach will be done faster and will be more maintainable, since I 
often don't look at those scripts again for months and would tend to 
forget any bash syntax that I've learned in the meantime.
