    Same here! That's why for small things I made pyxargs [1] to use python in the shell. In another thread I also just learned of pyp [2] which I haven't tried yet but looks like it'd be even better for this use case.

    I personally use fish, but mostly for the out of the box auto completions and highlighting, I don't use it for actual scripting, nor have it set as the login shell due to the 2nd reason you mentioned.

    I mostly use python as well, and for some short commands I made pyxargs [1] which lets you run python code on stdin, or a walk of your current directory.

    pyxargs --py "print('{}') if os.path.ismount('{}') else ''" | pyxargs fusermount -u {}

    My primary use case was using this with ffmpeg due to the encoding problem with xargs [2].

    It can also run commands in parallel using a terminal multiplexer so outputs don't get mixed up or if they require user input.
