python-userland is an experimental cross-platform implementation of variousUNIX and Linux utilities, written purely in Python 3.

Note that this project is a work-in-progress. Not many utilities have beenfinished, and existing utilities may be limited in functionality, performanceand correctness.

python-userland aims to implement as much as can be done in Python and itsstandard library, without relying on additional C bindings for system-specificfunctions. Currently, the focus is on achieving feature parity withGNUCoreutils, although not allutilities (e.g.clear) are necessarily from the Coreutils project.

python-userland should, in principle, run on any OS that runs Python. However,much testing has only been done in a Linux environment. This will hopefullychange in the future.
