When I dabble with Python to get a job done, I invariably end up using subprocess at some stage and going through some contortions. I like the look of Sultan, it seems well thought out and has loads of well written docs.

Anyone know how the name came about?

Since I was creating a tool that works with Commands, I thought of the tag line "Command and Rule Your Shell", and I thought of different types of rulers (Kings, Shahs, Czars, Sultans, etc.). The Sultan name seemed to fit the best.

I was also trying to grow a Handlebar mustache at the time, and I wanted my logo to have a Handlebar Mustache, so that's why the logo has a Handlebar Mustache :-)

Sultan means king If you see the tag line for project
