WHY? Why not? Could be useful to someone. Maybe the PyOS project.
DEVELOPMENT Put the drivers for the commands in src/. These should contain a main() function and do the argument processing. Put the core functionality for the program in a pycoreutils module and import it in the driver.
To test drivers, make sure you set a PYTHONPATH environment variable so that python can find the pycoreutils modules in this directory:
export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)
