You could in principle use Python as a general-purpose interactive shell, but it wouldn't make much sense. Bash is more convenient for basic operations such as changing directories, listing directories, copying files, etc. For more advanced scripting, I use both bash and Python. I use bash typically as an executive for scripting Python programs. For example, I use bash for stepping through a list of directories and running a set of python programs in each directory. Sure, I could use Python for the whole thing, but simply starting programs and moving files around is more straightforward in bash than in Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
