I think it is beautiful. Quite pythonic in my view.

I was looking to do something like this just last week. This would
have been _very_ useful to me.

Not sure what the big hullabaloo is about creating a module which
will allow this sort of functionality from python. Personally, I
find shell scripts to be generally ugly and unmaintainable.

To do something similar from python would clearly be better.

I hope something like this eventually gets in to the standard
distribution.
