I often find myself wanting to run os stuff from Leo, when I do, subprocess ends up consuming too much time. Since I've found 'sh' https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sh/1.08 I haven't looked back, so far it has always just done what I want. I know you are loathe to introduce dependencies, but maybe the source of sh would be helpful. > > A more ambitious approach is to write a state handler for your command that > prompts the user for args.
