[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Menu - Bash vs. Python Rule files

[Heinrich Wendel]

Hi,

Svyatogor and me are working on a menu system (like debian ones) for gentoo.
Now we have come to the part where we have to decide whether to use python or 
bash scripts for the rule files of the window managers.

The Python scripts are 2 times as fast as a bash script and in my opinion 
would make live easier, are easier to handle. But svyatogor votes for bash 
scripts, as more people know how to write bash scripts than python scripts, 
here an example of both:

Python:

Bash:
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/gentoo-menu/examples/fluxbox.wm?rev=1.3&cvsroot=gentoo-src&content-type=text/plain

What would you prefer?

mfg, heinrich
