I don't agree. It is painful to write command liners with python.
Look at this perl one liner that replaces .py with .txt.
ls *.py | perl -ne 's/.py$/.txt/; print $_;'
Try writing it in Python and you will know how painful it is.
Also Python doesn't go well with pipes. For example, the following
code produces an error.
python -c 'while True: print "hello"' | head -1
But its perl equivalent doesn't.
perl -e 'while(1) { print "hello\n"; }' | head -1
