xonsh - Pythonish, BASHwards looking shell

       Xonsh  is  a Python-ish shell language and command prompt. Unlike other shells, xonsh is based on Python,
       with additional syntax added that makes calling subprocess commands, manipulating  the  environment,  and
       dealing  with  the  file  system  easy. Xonsh supports all normal Python constructs and a subset of those
       available in bash.

       usage: xonsh [-h] [-V] [-c COMMAND] [-i] [-l] [--rc RC [RC ...]] [--no-rc]

              [--no-env]  [--no-script-cache]  [--cache-everything]  [-D  ITEM]  [-st  SHELL_TYPE]   [--timings]
              [script-file] ...

              Run as a login shell.

       --rc RC [RC ...]
              The xonshrc files to load, these may be either xonsh files or directories containing xonsh files

       --no-rc
              Do not load any xonsh RC files. Argument --rc will be ignored if --no-rc is set.

       --no-env
              Do not inherit parent environment variables.

       -st, --shell-type SHELL_TYPE

       --timings
              Prints timing information before the  prompt  is  shown.   This  is  useful  while  tracking  down
              performance issues and investigating startup times.

       The run control file is written in xonsh script and executed once at start-up.

       /etc/xonshrc
              System-wide run control file

       ~/.xonshrc
              Per-user run control file

       In  addition  to the run control file, a JSON formatted static file can be used to set runtime parameters
       and environment variables before the xonshrc files are executed.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xonsh/config.json
              Per-user static config file
