**Xonsh** is a Python-powered shell. Full-featured, cross-platform and AI-friendly. The language is a superset of Python 3 with seamless integration of shell functionality and commands. The name Xonsh should be pronounced like "consh" — a softer form of the word "conch" (🐚, ``@``), referring to the world of command shells.
