Does Python in any way reduce the need to use shell scripts? I see that it is possible to use c/c++ with Python, it is called Cython. I was not able to confirm but I think that even though Python 2.x. is packaged with Ubuntu, the /use/bin/python3 command is available but not default. There appears to be a lot of data analysis done with Python. How seemless is the c/c++ and python merger? It also looks like Qt is available to Python programs.Has anyone used these languages together?
