"python -c" works, so python is a shell. [However, scripts often use:

#!/usr/bin/env python
instead of
	#!/usr/bin/python
because for a long time python was not "blessed" by living in /usr/bin;
many users have python in /usr/local or some other place in $PATH.
And /usr/bin/env does not take "-c".]
