[issue24607] standardize sh module

[Skip Montanaro]

Skip Montanaro added the comment:

While it's an interesting library, my fear is that people will start shelling out to all sorts of things which Python already has builtin. One of the examples on the github site was showing how to call "ls". Another example invoked "wc". neither of those is particularly difficult to pull off in Python. In addition, you're left with text data you need to parse for further use (assuming you even can reliably do so). Finally, I'm not sure masking the fork/exec overhead is such a great idea.
