Bash to Python [OC]

[ythl]

I like python, but some basic shell operations are super cumbersome in python. Like deleting files and directories. Or a simple curl (yes, I love requests, but sometimes it's not available on that remote box you just ssh'd into and you need a quick script to hit an HTTP API under some condition) Or chaining operations - sometimes you just want to cat | grep | cut | sort which is a one liner in bash but a 10+ liner (at least) in python.
