A simple chroot CLI utility made in python that starts up a REPL for traversing the chroot
Motivation
I wanted to see if I could make a proper chroot interface/shell in Python as I knew how to do the fundamental workflow on their own (i.e. individual functions to chroot into the system, print and exit)
The thought of making a cross-platform chroot utility came to mind, hence the project idea
The more I wrote, I somehow ended up with a REPL and I guess a working (albeit incredibly lackluster) shell
