Don't.

When I first started using Python, I gave it a try, but having to type
"os.system(" in front of every command convinced me that I was insane,
and so I switched back to zsh, like God intended.  ;)

Of course, I've seen reference to a PythonShell since then, which I
haven't tried.  Maybe it's time to start that up again.  But evidently
not, since I can't find the url.  :P  If anyone else knows where I might
find it, please email me.

Thanks,
Blake.
