xonsh2

The xonsh2 repository was built by my-xonsh-fork from xonsh-xep-2 repository that has XEP-2 changes.

The installation of xonsh2 will not affect your host xonsh installation. You can install xonsh2 and: run it, create .xonshrc_2, add to the shebang (#!/usr/bin/env xonsh2), run scripts (xonsh2 my.xsh), put xontribs to xontrib2 directory and load it via xontrib2 load. Original xonsh will live shoulder to shoulder with xonsh2 in fact.

Install and try:

pip install -U git+https://github.com/anki-code/xonsh2
xonsh2

Feel free to make pull requests or create issues in the xonsh-xep-2 repository if you like the XEP-2 approach.
