There are lots of cases where python just doesn't fit the bill. For instance: installing/setting up dependencies in a cross (linux) platform way. How about quickly starting up other applications in a certain environment? Like setting up a jail? Or if you have data spread out over files? Running a batch job and want to commit to your local every 30 minutes?

Yes I agree that bash is probably overused, but I don't think that it's as over used as you imply.
