[Python-Dev] PEP 501 Shell Command Examples

Hi Nick, You are giving runcommand(sh(i"cat {filename}")) as an example that avoids injection attacks. While this is true, I think this is still a terrible anti-pattern[1] that should not be entombed in a PEP as a positive example. Could you consider removing it? (It doubly wastes resources by pointlessly calling a shell, and then by parsing & quoting the argument only for the shell to do the same in reverse).
