But what does Python excel at. That si my main question. Whatevfer I think of I can already do or know a way to do in shell. I am not getting where would I need Python. e.g. for parsing log files with regex I rather use egrep than Python. For counting the number of mails received for a user I use awk, where can I use Python. Everyone says it is a "general programming language", but what in the world is a "general programming language"? The Python video said that one can take this language to good level in 1 afternoon, for me it has been 2 months and more. What is wrong?
