In recent years, I've been disillusioned with bash and started using
Python more and more where I would previously have used bash. Python's
explicit syntax does automatically give you a level of security, but I
must say the subprocess.Popen.communicate syntax is painful as hell.
Your traditional one-liners turn into five-liners, and a casual observer
will have a slightly hard time understanding what's going on.
