It's not Python though.. it's a tightly coupled mix of Python, shell and other stuff. You would have to extract the Python to actually run it with a Python int

It's not Python though.. it's a tightly coupled mix of Python, shell and other stuff. You would have to extract the Python to actually run it with a Python interpreter, in which case you don't need xonsh at all. What I mean by unprincipled is that it doesn't parse or define its language. It passes the problem off to other programs (sh and Python).
