I'm trying to implement this in Python.

Essentially, it searches for the first occurence of a line containing "description" in ${file_prefix}.html and saves the file. Replacing it by

Code:

grep "description" ${file_prefix}.html | head -1

makes the usage of vi(m) redundant and it should be also much faster. For details see the answer of figaro.
