I was just getting used to it as PBS :-) Other than really liking your 
lib… I'm not convinced it would be a good candidate for the stdlib, 
yet. E.g. Not every good lib belongs in the stdlib. That said, if sh.py 
continues to gain popularity (akin to e.g. requests) I suspect the 
"right people" (core developers?) will see it. I'm also curious how 
that happens, would a PEP be a good place to propose inclusion in the 
stdlib?
