Good ideas :-), no time :-(

[François Pinard]

Hi, people.

Yesterday, I had to read long shell scripts and complex Makefiles.
Python is really corrupting me, because more I work with Python, more I
consider that complex shell code is hard to read.

So, I came with this "simple" idea, that we should have tools for converting
Makefiles and shell scripts into specialised Python scripts.  (And why not
`sed' and `awk' as well, once on that road, the same as Perl once did.)

Ah, my friends, all the nice things I could do if only I had more time :-).
Who would give me a decent full-time salary, just so I could follow my
own inclinations for free software in Python? :-)
