Fedora 28 : Using the python module sh .

Today I test another python module named sh with python version 3.6.5 and Fedora 28.
This python module named sh is a full-fledged subprocess replacement for Python 2.6 - 3.5, PyPy and PyPy3 that allows you to call any program as if it were a function.
You can read bout this python module here.
I used dnf tool to search and install the pip tool :
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf search python3
