Personally I've found Python to have significantly fewer foot-guns than bash.

The biggest reason why I don't use it all of the time is that calling / piping commands takes a lot more typing, so it's easier to use bash for very simple shell scripts. And while there are libraries that simplify shell scripting, that adds external dependencies to your scripts.

> for i in range(1,10): > print("i %i\n")

This outputs "i %i\n\n" 9 times.
