For example, bash lacks
decent timezone support, so I can well believe random832's guess that
your five-hour offset is a simulation of that; but Python can do much
better work with timezones, so you can get that actually correct.
Actually, bash has no timezone support but the date command _does_, and
probably neither better nor worse than Python. All one has to do is set the TZ
environment variable, eg (untested):
_year_gmt=$( TZ=GMT date +%Y )
Also, file handling, searching, and text manipulation and so on can
usually be done more efficiently and readably in Python directly than
by piping things through grep and awk.
Again, depends a bit on the data. But in the general case probably true.
