When to Consider Python Over Bash:
Complex Logic: Python excels at handling intricate logic, algorithms, and data manipulation. If your script involves:
Data processing: Parsing, cleaning, transforming, and analyzing data from various sources (CSV, JSON, databases).
Mathematical calculations: Performing complex mathematical operations, statistical analysis, or numerical simulations.
Object-oriented programming: Creating reusable code structures and modularizing your script for better maintainability.
Advanced control flow: Implementing sophisticated conditional statements, loops, and exception handling.
Data Science and Machine Learning: Python is the dominant language in these fields, providing a rich ecosystem of libraries (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn) for data analysis, machine learning, and deep learning.
Cross-platform Compatibility: Python scripts are generally more portable across different operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) compared to Bash scripts, which can sometimes have platform-specific quirks.
