What the shell? pyxshell :)

Excerpt:

[
Pyxshell aims to bring text stream manipulation commands with pipelines, like in Unix shells, but in pure Python.
A short example:
>>> from pyxshell.common import grep,glue
>>> pl = []
>>> ['python', 'ruby', 'jython'] | grep(r'yt') > pl
>>> pl | glue("\n") > sys.stdout
python
jython
]

Looks interesting.

As I said before, there are many ways to skin a pipe, er, cat, in Python:
