Please don't use "sh" python library!

By default (1) captures stdout and stderr of all processes and (2) create tty for processs stdout.

Those are really bad defaults. The tty on stdout means many programs run in "interactive" rather then "batch" mode: programs which use pager get output truncated, auto-colors may get enabled and emit ESC controls into output streams (or not, depending on user's distro... fun!). And captured stderr means warnings and progress messages just disappear.

For example, this hangs forever without any output, at least if executed from interactive terminal:

    from sh import man
    print(man("tty"))

    import subprocess
    subprocess.check_output(["man", "tty"], text=True)
   

(Fun fact: back when "sh" first appeared, everyone was using "git log" as an example of why tty was bad (it was silently truncating data). They fixed it.. by disabling tty only for "git" command. So my example uses "man" :) )
