Great but ipython woes
First of all, a-Shell is awesome! Took some getting used to with the os and there are some kinks but this is absolutely invaluable, especially due to Shortcuts support.
That said, it would really, really, really be lovely if you could add vi as one of the available packages. There is some wonkiness with vim that causes IPython to catastrophically fail when attempting to configure vim as the editor, and without emacs as an alternative it can really throw a wrench in my gears.
In addition, it would also be wonderful if you could throw in the latest version of Python, an increasing number of packages and dependencies which require a higher version are starting to go haywire, and I am no longer able to use pandas which is a huge bummer. Really hope you check these because it would make a huge difference!
I'll end on a high note: a-Shell is far superior to competitors in terms of performance as every other I've used uses container virtualization running alpine Linux, etc. which can only provide access to a single core, which precludes the ability to use more modern tools. For example, iSH can't even install numpy.
Keep up the great work!

Response from developer
Hi, thanks for the review and the kind words. The next major update will have Python 3.13 and every Python package updated to the highest possible values. If you installed pandas with pip (check with "pip list --user | grep pandas"), I recommend that you uninstall it ("pip uninstall pandas") to get the default version installed with a-Shell, which should work.
