What is the problem you are trying to solve? Are you asking how to
write a shell in Python?

How would I setup the interpreter to take the DROP command?
You wouldn't... "setup" is a noun. You might "set up" an interpreter
though.

I've been reading and searching all day but I haven't found anything
close to what I'm doing. I realize that using custom commands in
this case is overkill but in the end is used to make the users life
easier.
How so? What could be easier than "rm -rf directory"?

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.
