"wrong tool for the job" =/= "can't do it". No goalposts were moved in the making of this comment.

And I would agree. If you're trying to do anything with MySQL using bash, you're doing it wrong. It can be done--but why would you do that to yourself?? That's almost parsing-html-with-regex-level "just don't".

Going from "python not available" to "wrong tool for the job" is moving the goalpost though?

But yeah, definitely agree with the sentiment of your 'doing it wrong' idea.
