I thought Python was an excellent choice, and built and staged all my wrappers as a Python part. 'core' already has Python3, so it isn't bloating the snap size. And it makes it a doddle to manipulate json, yaml or ini files, when this sort of thing requires an expert to do correctly in bash or dash. (but look at 'jq' if you insist on shell scripts - it seemed very helpful for dealing with json) -- Stuart Bishop <[email protected]>
