Here's how to tell Emacs to go do a login so that your PATH customization is available to you when you M-x shell (and other shell-y things like M-x compile and M-x grep).

wc - pure Python implementation of classic Unix word count utility.

As part of my ongoing Python Power Tools project (a pale imitation of Perl Power Tools), I have implemented a pure Python wc.

https://github.com/glanois/code/blob/master/python/ppt/wc.py

This supports a -files0 option, so you can pipe wc.py the output of any program that produces filenames separated by null characters.  For example, find and ack, when using the -print0 output option.
