[Tutor] Unix shell vs Python shell

[Christopher Spears]

What is the main difference between the Unix shell and
Idle?  I'm asking this because I discovered the os
module, which has commands that look suspiciously like
utilities in Unix.  In Unix, the shell acts like a
traffic cop and calls up needed utilities.  Does Idle
do the same?
