If you're using Python as a bash script replacement for various individual standalone scripts, typically you would be using system libraries without pinning dependencies, in which case you'll break on various OS updates as Python libraries don't seem to value backwards compatibility. Sure you could include a virtual environment with every script but that's not very ergonomic and will really add up...

I would say python's stdlib is mostly stable.

Usually when I port shell scripts to python, I create a folder for it and throw in some setup.py / requirements.txt. But lately, I've automated most of the deb package creation process (https://copier.readthedocs.io), and I typically create the whole deb package. Of course, for single use stuff, I don't bother with either.
