I don't think you are missing anything.  It was something that just sort
of happened one day.  I was trying to do something fairly simple in a
shell script and didn't have a good way to get the date info I wanted,
so I started playing around with python -e.  It really SHOULD just be a
python script that calls shell stuff, not the other way 'round :-)

Still, in the spirit of the OP, I thought it would be appropriate to
share.
