A Python developer with a knack for math. TKD black belt, ask me about 2013.
Applied Math Alum @SMU, but I can tell you all about commutative rings too.

I concede to the point that doing all of this with Python is probably more work. I don't think bash is that bad either. The main point of this article was that I'm too lazy to type out essentially 4 commands every time I want to post something to my blog; on top of that, there's some small details regarding file names that need to be observed. Rather than going to learn about doing it in bash and getting the date to be in a certain format, I thought it would be quicker to do it in Python. In the spirit of learning something new, I remembered some subprocess module that is supposed to replace the os.system() function that I am used to. So I thought I would teach myself and write it up for anyone else to benefit from.
I hope that clears it up a bit. I'm not here to make performance claims, just to leave a guide out there for people who have the same problem as me one day. Thanks again for the read!
Oh definitely! Having the power of Python mixed with bash or any shell scripting is an awesome combo, especially when you get into anything more than a single if statement really or dealing with fun stuff like date formatting.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
