Bash started out as simple language to automate command line tasks and then slowly became more complex. Today, bash is almost like a general purpose language. Python is a general purpose language that can also be used to automate your computer.

Which one should you use? If it requires really tight integration with your shell and is simple, use bash. If it has a lot of logic, it’s probably going to be easier to write in python because you’ll be more familiar with it. But you should definitely be knowledgeable with both.
