Command Starting with a Number

[bnerickson]

I'm trying to execute some 7z commands using sh, but python doesn't accept variables starting with a number:

>>> import sh
>>> from sh import 7z
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    from sh import 7z
                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is there a workaround for this?

Try instantiating the Command object manually:

import sh
seven_z = sh.Command("7z")
seven_z(...)

That did it. Thanks!
