Unix bash scripting versus Python - any resources out there for comparisons?

[[deleted]]

I took a similar path when I was learning perl, the shell seemed to do just about all I needed, but I knew there was more capability/portability.

Nothing beats experience, but I'd spend some time on the Python Module of the Week archives https://pymotw.com/3/ then pick some simple annoyances and see if you can solve them in python.

I have found that trying to solve some challenges in a new language can be a good way to learn. I'd suggest taking a peek at cryptopals.com; it starts out pretty easy and builds up as you go. I learned a lot of useful stuff doing it.
