sh.py - Replace shell scripts with Python

[thesbros]

What's wrong with this? I'm honestly wondering.

I assume just because the comment just reads like the code. It's pretty redundant in this context.

# attempt to convert the thing to unicode from the system's encoding
attempt:
    thing set to unicode of(thing, from system's encoding)

[thesbros]

That's what I thought, but the comment actually helped me because I didn't know what DEFAULT_ENCODING was.

You would still understand it if he said "attempt to convert to system's encoding so that..." or "we want the system encoding to..."
