Let's give this question its own topic:
To what extent is Python ok for use for scripts that aim to be included with the main project?

Python is supported already, you call the script from within a bash script.

Requests to add more python modules to the image will likely not be accepted though as the image is kept purposefully very small.
Calling the python script from a bash script is not necessary. With a shebang on the first line you can run python code from within a bash shell script (.sh file).
Just put this shebang on the first line of your .sh file:
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/python3
Everything after that can be python code like you would in a .py file. Of course make sure you make the .sh file executable with chmod +x.
