I'm considering that, but I still haven't managed to understand just why it isn't supported on Windows. Perhaps I haven't delved deep enough or perhaps it's my lack of solid experience with Python. Of course, I could simply fork it, remove the "not supported on Windows" check and use it, but that feels lazy and dirty ;)

If sh allows Pythonic idioms to call Posix functions, then its implementation on a Posix system such as Linux or Mac is probably very different than on non-Posix Windows.

> I'm considering that, but I still haven't managed to understand just why it isn't supported on Windows. From a quick look at the code, it's not supported on windows because of its reliance on terminal utilities(pty, termios). Doesn't the banner state to use the previous version(pbs) for windows support? https://github.com/amoffat/sh/blob/master/sh.py#L33 https://github.com/amoffat/sh/blob/master/sh.py#L33 And if for some reason it still doesn't work out, you can always use subprocess(which this library is using anyway) or https://github.com/kennethreitz/envoy https://github.com/kennethreitz/envoy

  From a quick look at the code, it's not supported on windows because of its reliance on terminal utilities(pty, termios). Thanks! Like I said, I don't have lots of experience with Python, so this is very valuable info for me :) Doesn't the banner state to use the previous version(pbs) for windows support? Yes, but the PyPi page for pbs 0.110 states: "PBS will no longer be supported." I'm not comfortable with basing my code on a library which won't be supported in the future. And if for some reason it still doesn't work out, you can always use subprocess(which this library is using anyway) or https://github.com/kennethreitz/envoy https://github.com/kennethreitz/envoy I didn't know about envoy either. Thanks again! :) EDIT: Upon closer examination, the whole OProc class depends on os.fork(), which is available only on Unix, according to Python docs.
