Normally it should be, but why do you use 'sh' before your command?
Doesn't work here when I do that.
Here's a simple test I did:
david@david-laptop:~/tmp$ cat test.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.append('/opt/tuxdroid/api/python')
from tux import *
tux.sys.shell_free("ps -ef | grep test")
tux.sys.wait(1)
tux.disconnect_from_daemon()
david@david-laptop:~/tmp$ ./test.py

I personally can't as I don't know much more than you, still didn't do
much with the api yet. But as we urged rémi to write the documentation, he
should be adding docstrings in the api pretty soon.
I also suggested we write a tutorial with a script that would be well
documented and would demonstrate some functions/functionalities of the api
one by one in a sequence. That would help a lot to understand how to use
the api. This tutorial, once published on tuxisalive, will be copied in
the wiki to extend it to every function that is available in the api. When
really complete and mature, it will replace the simple one on the website.
So at the moment, I can't be of much help except urging to get that
documentation.
cheers,
david
