I was just getting used to it as PBS :-) Other than really liking your
lib… I'm not convinced it would be a good candidate for the stdlib,
yet. E.g. Not every good lib belongs in the stdlib. That said, if sh.py
continues to gain popularity (akin to e.g. requests) I suspect the
"right people" (core developers?) will see it. I'm also curious how
that happens, would a PEP be a good place to propose inclusion in the
stdlib?
