Sometimes calling a subprocess is better than using a dependency/package. At least in Python, once you add a third-party dependency, distribution becomes slightly harder. I like writing automation scripts in a single .py file. If that script doesn’t use any third-party dependencies, distributing it is as easy as copying the file to the machine. Otherwise you need to package your project, deal with virtual environments, PyPi, pipx, etc. I don’t think all of those tasks are hard, but rsync...
