@Nir:
It's just a matter of convenience.
I think of pyhonect as a sys-admin's super scripting tool (among other things), where you want to write
pythonect scripts and execute them directly, and the scripts themselves should contain all relevant information.
I know that there's always a workaround, but I would also really enjoy using a language that gives me
the cleanest, most intuitive syntax.
@Itsik:
I was thinking of a "use local shell" feature.
I don't think this is strange for OS's without a UNIX shell - they have the same problem
when they try to use Python's subprocess module and so forth.
You both seem opposed though - that probably pushes it down in the to-do list...
