I think it should be two parts: One as you describe, the other devoted
to file handling by AWK, sed, grep, sort, and once the file info has
been screened and summarized, Python to do the logic heavy lifting.

And the two can be mixed together. Oftentimes it's beneficial to write
a very fast C filter to do something in the pipe series not done well
by the Unix utilities.
