I disagree with that statement. If we are talking about scripts that need to run external programs, Python is lacking. That's why there is sh for dealing exactly with that. The fact that it's pretty popular (judging by GitHub stars) from my perspective proves the problem.
I was frustrated with both bash and Python enough to create new language, Next Generation Shell. It has bash-like syntax for running external programs, facilities to handle exit codes, parse output, etc. NGS is built specifically for this kind of glue scripting. It's like you can't beat awk or jq for specific tasks, it should be (you judge) hard to beat NGS for glue scripting.
