I love python and I create utilities all of the time with it. Love the fact the you can extend the capabilities of your code with modules… like using paramiko or use of jython to use java modules. Wait till you start playing around with Ruby… really nice.

A good article about it: http://www.2ality.com/2011/12/nodejs-shell-scripting.html

Once I had to fix someone’s python code, so tried to learn it. Easily got frustrated with the weird syntax. It makes reading the code very difficult. The only good thing I can say – it’s interpreter is fast and there’s a lot of code written in python.
When the speed is not important, I use php instead. It`s far more readable (C/C++ -like syntax) and also strange to use for shell scripting. Didn’t test the CShell

In any case though … don’t see BASH going away anytime soon happening.

Merry Christmas!
