main criticism has been the cleverness of the dynamic lookups.
There is also the ability to use a Command object for more
explicit calls:</span>

you have the best of both worlds. If you like the idea of the
programs being attributes on the module, you can use the
advertised way, if you don't, you can use the more explicit way.</div>

support would be a little more difficult. It existed in an old
version of sh, when it was merely a wrapper around the
subprocess module. Now that sh.py no longer relies on the
subprocess module and does fork-exec itself (in order to get
more flexible access to the processes), Windows is currently
unsupported. My current understanding is that most of the value
comes from the linux/OSX folks, but Windows support is scheduled
for the future.</div>

This is what I don't like:<br>
<br>
subprocess is not used, but you implement stuff yourself.<br>
Instead of bypassing subprocess I would improve subprocess<br>
and not duplicate the windows problem, which is most of the<br>
time _not_ easy to get right.<br>
<br>
Can you explain why you went this path?<br>
