Plenty of languages have a framework to assist with shell/Bash scripting. Nothing wrong with that. If you look at the Python build-in API, it's pretty terrible. In all fairness, Python strives to work equally well on Windows, Linux, and some other things. Good luck with that. I prefer doing systems scripting in Python over Bash. But writing converting a Bash script to Python without "Pythonizing" it is a bad time.
