Hello openSUSE

I would like to include python-sh into Factory. python-sh is a Python library that allows you to interact with the shell script. You can call any external application from Python, in a coherent way. For example

import sh print sh.ls('-l', '-a') print sh.pwd()

This will call `ls -l -a` and `pwd` and print the result in the console. Is powerful and really convenient when you want to replace shell scripts with a more productive language.

If no one is against this, I would like to create the request the next Monday.

Sounds like a very interesting, simplified way to launch external tools. I from my part don't see why we should block this in anyway... I'd not starting 'wrapping my shell scripts in python though' :) sh.ls('-l', '-a') reads a bit nicer than call('ls', '-l', '-a'), which, essentially does the same.

Thanks, Alberto Planas
