What is the problem you are trying to solve? Are you asking how to write a shell in Python? <pet peeve> > How would I setup the interpreter to take the DROP command? You wouldn't...

I'd be happy to, but I can't imagine what sort of documentation would help you. It sounds like what you want to do, basically, is write a program to read commands from stdin, parse them to make sure the syntax is right, and then execute the equivalent code in Python. -- Derek D.
