+Ever wished the compactness of shell scripts be put into a real programming
+language? Say hello to Plumbum Shell Combinators. Plumbum (Latin for lead, which
+was used to create pipes back in the day) is a small yet feature-rich library
+for shell script-like programs in Python. The motto of the library is ?Never
+write shell scripts again?, and thus it attempts to mimic the shell syntax
+(shell combinators) where it makes sense, while keeping it all Pythonic and
+cross-platform.
+
+Apart from shell-like syntax and handy shortcuts, the library provides local and
+ remote command execution (over SSH), local and remote file-system paths, easy
+working-directory and environment manipulation, and a programmatic Command-Line
+Interface (CLI) application toolkit. Now let?s see some code!
