So... in short, you'd need to have been reading a tutorial specific

I have been. I'm also trying to learn bash shell scripting, not to mention sed/awk, php, etc. I should have started this a long time ago, but I'm lazy

Throw all of this away and learn just python. That will be much

Ummm, if you are working with Unix and Unix-like systems, you should know shell scripting. Work through that first and then when you find that you can't get things done with a shell script, go with Python (or failing that, Perl :) ).
