No kidding. And how much python would it take to do "less file.txt"?

chmod 2755 /home/me/{big,small,upper,lower}/{conf,bin,log}

Any decent modern shell (e.g. Bash) is a stunningly powerful
environment aimed at solving a certain sort of problems in a certain
way. Python is aimed at solving a more general set of problems in an
entirely different way.
Yes, you can drive a nail with a screwdriver if you try hard enough
long enough, but it's still a bad idea.
