For a non-nerfed (but *radically* different to bash) Windows shell, try Powershell. You'll probably hate it, but not because it's limited in capabilities :-) Paul PS Apparently, powershell is now open source and available for Linux and OSX. See https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell - although I don't know if all the features available on Windows exist on other platforms (yet). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
