If you expect the shell process itself to be doing a lot of CPU-bound work, then that might be a reason against using an interpreted language like python.

If you expect the shell process to need to make use of true thread-based concurrency, then that might be a reason not to use python.

Do we have either of the above expectations? What other reasons are there for python to be inappropriate?
