> I was hoping someone finally had a library or something to make python good at the things shell does well (mostly, running stuff and piping output around). If only.

xonsh (https://xon.sh/)

Been using it for a few years now. It's worth it.

I haven't heard of xonsh either till now. After looking it over, it seems like a perfect integration of sh with Python. There's a good chance I'll give an honest shot at migrating from zsh to xonsh this week.

Never heard of xonsh before and it looks really useful. Thanks.
