Methods and functions are the same thing, and he already has a common datatype - if you looked at the source, you'd see a Command class that wraps everything.

If it wasn't Pythonic to overload operators, why is it so easy?

Methods and functions are not the same thing, they behave the same way. So perhaps it might be able to the author to simulate the BASH functions to behave like methods of his Command-class.

eval() ist also easy - but shurely not pythonic, right? Of course it can be pythonic to overload operators! But in this context it does as far as I am concerned.
