I decided to drag myself kicking-and-screaming to the 21st century and start writing my handy-dandy utility scripts in python instead of bash. All was well and good until I made them available to the rest of my team, and suddenly I'm in python dependency hell. I search the internet and there are a lot of different solutions but all have their problems and there's no standard answer.
I decided "to heck with it" and went back to bash. There's no built-in JSON parser but I can use 'grep' and 'cut' as well as anyone so the end result is the same. I push it to our repo, I tell coworkers to run it, and I wash my hands of the thing.
