Yeah, you could do that. Or you can simply rely on /bin/sh to do the parsing and everything else for you. No need to re-invent the wheel. I don't think Python will ever beat sh as a shell replacement. When people say that Python is great for some situations, but not so much for others, I think they thought of running commands like this as "other", -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
