The Gentoo folks have it so that their entire package management
system is built in Python. That's fairly heavy system administration
, right? The main problem with using Python for stuff like this is
that it's not guaranteed to be there, while /bin/sh is. (You see a
lot of tired old Unix admins griping about the Linux users putting
bash-specific things in their scripts, for example....)
