I was just wondering if there was a way to return the results of a
python script to the bash shell?
Here is a silly pseudo code example:
bash command | some-python-script.py | some.other-script.sh
That's called pipelining and uses standard input/output streams.
########## Untested! : echo.py #####
import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(line)
#########################
$ ls | python echo.py | wc -l
Should give much the same result as
$ ls | wc -l
