Bash: easy way to test out conditions is to do it right on the command line, and then echo out the result of the last command, e.g.:
That will result in "1" being printed to the terminal, since == does string evaluation.
Python: pypandoc (wrapper around program pandoc) is super easy to use to convert strings and files from one format to another.
Also, not something I learned but a good practice I've developed: anytime I want to install some new program, I do it via the Ansible playbook I set up for my computer. This way, I get more experience with ansible, and I can reproduce my computer if it dies unexpectedly or I get a new one or even if I just switch distros.
