But they will know how to import your module?

to be honest I think this module is a solution looking for a problem &<= br> you have re-invented the wheel (Square).

I actually think=C2=A0http://plumbum.readthedocs= .org,=C2=A0http://sarge.readt= hedocs.org=C2=A0and=C2=A0http:= //amoffat.github.io/sh/=C2=A0do a really good job at this. I might one = day even try them ;).
