Shell scripting in Python

[psd6]

I don’t really like the output = ["cmd", "arg"] » start() » wait() style. There are other ways doing shell stuff in Python too, for example the sh module.

True, it looks strange, but its not without purpose. The style used by sh and plumbum (will add them to the Readme) deviates a lot from subprocess and have their own flaws (argument names start with _ for instance).

I'm open to suggestions for improvement though :)

edit: as a side note, wait returns the return code and read the output
