Yes you should definitely look at converting those 25 or so scripts to functions within the 1 script. It shouldn't require very much changes to the code to do this and the performance improvement should be immediately evident.
Also, with some careful redesign the performance of your bash script could end up very close to python for most functions.
I'm sure many people here can help in optimising bash code, but it may involve you posting some of your work here.
As an example most shell screen based I/O would use tput, which is an external program and costs a lot to call from bash.
A good idea is to avoid using $(tput rmso) everywhere in your script in printf/echo statements,
instead store this string once at the start of your script like this BOLD_OFF=$(tput rmso) and then use $BOLD_OFF everywhere else.

python-config
PYTHON-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual PYTHON-CONFIG(1)
NAME
python-config - output build options for python C/C++ extensions or embedding
SYNOPSIS
python-config [ --prefix ] [ --exec-prefix ] [ --includes ] [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --ldflags ] [ --extension-suffix ] [ --configdir ] [
--help ]
DESCRIPTION
python-config helps compiling and linking programs, which embed the Python interpreter, or extension modules that can be loaded dynamically
(at run time) into the interpreter.
OPTIONS
--cflags
print the C compiler flags.
--ldflags
print the flags that should be passed to the linker.
--includes
similar to --cflags but only with -I options (path to python header files).
--libs similar to --ldflags but only with -l options (used libraries).
--prefix
prints the prefix (base directory) under which python can be found.
--exec-prefix
print the prefix used for executable program directories (such as bin, sbin, etc).
--extension-suffix
print suffix used for extension modules (including the _d modified for debug builds).
--configdir
prints the path to the configuration directory under which the Makefile, etc. can be found).
--help print the usage message.
EXAMPLES
To build the singe-file c program prog against the python library, use
gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) progr.cpp -o progr.cpp
The same in a makefile:
CFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --cflags)
LDFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --ldflags)
all: progr
To build a dynamically loadable python module, use
gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) -shared -fPIC progr.cpp -o progr.so
