These days, I always convert any even slightly complicated script to
Python.

Not sure what you're looking for here -- many things you'd run an
external program for in scripting can be accomplished with Python library
calls, and for the rest, you can use the subprocess module (or os.system
if you have no acces to Python 2.4 or higher).
