Check out xonsh. I haven’t used it but it’s supposed to be a python/bash hybrid shell.

Xonsh is good, I’ve used it for a bit. I loved customizing but in the end I found the reliance on prompt toolkit unfortunate. It’s significantly slower than fish for example. Trying to hook into how search and similar stuff works is really hard — you end up having to hook into xonsh and then into prompt toolkit, and a lot of the source feels like it was cobbled together with a bunch of libraries.

But it’s fun to use, still. I might come back to it a few versions down the road.
