IMHO, Bash is great for quick and dirty hacks, as a kind of simplified 
Perl. But when bash script grows too big, I would consider rewriting it in 
Python rather than Perl. But this is just my personal choice.

Since we are already a little offtopic :-), did you see any speed 
difference between PHP and Python? I understand, that you are doing web 
devel in those two?
