without going into details on how to do these things in python(many 
suggestions have already been made) i think you need to take a step back

Why do you want to do these particular things in this way?

is it because this is what is needed to get the job done or is it because 
this is what's needed to get the job done in perl? 

if the later then step back and think what is the real goal & program 
accordingly.

Each language does things differently ( if they didn't we wouldn't have 
different languages!)

what is Best for perl (or c , java, pascal or malbolge) may not 
necessarily be the best for Python & vice Versa.
