>>> from shell_command import shell_call
>>> shell_call("ls *.py")
setup.py  shell_command.py  test_shell_command.py
0
>>> shell_call("ls {}", "*.py")
ls: cannot access *.py: No such file or directory
2
>>> shell_call("ls {!u}", "*.py")
setup.py  shell_command.py  test_shell_command.py
0

Unless someone uncovers a major design flaw in the next few months, at
least ShellCommand, shell_call, shell_check_call and shell_output are
likely to make an appearance in subprocess for 3.3.

Cheers,
Nick.
