I was just about to say the same thing (and with no intention to discredit
the zsh version). If it is desirable to list all available realms and let
the user choose interactively, I could add that to the Python script.

I was also going to add that I think it is better to provide one tool and
make sure that tool is working well instead of having two tools that differ
only in tiny details, since they might bit-rot in different ways over time
and it might be hard for a newcomer to understand the motivation of having
different tools.

Kind regards,
Daniel
