[Python-Dev] Interest in seeing sh.py in the stdlib (original) (raw)

Hi,

I'm the author of sh.py, a subprocess module rewrite for Linux and OSX. It serves as a powerful and intuitive interface to launching subprocesses http://amoffat.github.com/sh/. It has been maintained on github https://github.com/amoffat/sh for about 10 months and currently has about 25k installs, according to pythonpackages.com.

Andy Grover maintains the Fedora rpm for sh.py http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=94247 and Nick Moffit has submitted an older version of sh.py (which was called pbs) to be included in Debian distros http://pkgs.org/debian-wheezy/debian-main-i386/python-pbs_0.95-1_all.deb.html

I'm interested in making sh.py more accessible to help bring Python forward in the area of shell scripting, so I'm interested in seeing if sh would be suitable for the standard library. Is there any other interest in something like this?
