Re: bash vs. python scripts - which one is better?
Hi,
personally I'd say they both equally powerfull in general (I think
both a touring complete which makes them both full grown programming
languages - correct me if i'm wrong)
depending on the job i use one over the other. If it would be a python
script only spawning OS processes it might be a lot easier with bash.
on the other hand if there's number/string parsing involved i can do a
lot better with python YMMV.
