I would use another language for distributing a script (probably) python. Awk and sed I use more on a one-off basis although I do have a list of ones I use frequently.

Would that be the deprecated 2.x with OS X or 3.x which has been available for years?

To put it another way, you've replaced sed incompatibility with python incompatibility. It's not really a win.

I'm not saying Perl is the best choice here, but it's a better choice than Python for cross platform compatibility.
