Is there anything Python does that Bash can't do?

There are many reasons to use either. Probably about as many as there are to use the other. Choose wisely.



Yeah, lots of things Python can do but Bash cannot simply because of vast selection of third party modules available in Python.


I agree that something which requires a "vast selection of third party modules" is probably not the kind of thing you'd do in Bash.

That's a strawman though.

I don't want to have to install a "vast selection of third party modules" just so I can run `kubectl apply -f foobar/*` on my CI pipeline.
