Under $SAGRE_ROOT/local/bin/, several of the Sage infrastructure scripts are already written in Python, instead of "bash" (except for the very first she-bang line "#!/usr/bin/env python") --- see e.g. "sage-clone". For what it's worth, I really like the idea to refactor/rewrite the Sage build system/infrastructure more or less completely in Python. Oh well, if I had time for that, I'd rather devote it to help the release managers.
