To use Python as a shell with customized scripts  is feasiable for those ho=
se have to work on different OS enviroments from  time to time. This is a h=
andy approach to ease the user the burden  to memorize

Of course, this might add some overheads in executing some operations.   =

Nowadays attracting more people especially noices to use linux is the way t=
o keep unix programming alive in the future. =20
