If I'm nitpicking too much, just say so.

But I think, for writing quick command chains, "pbs\_bg=True" is a teeny bit verbose to type and read in-line. What if it were something shorter, such as bg\_, or \_bg? It's highly unlikely to see a command-line flag beginning or ending with an underscore, and using the underscore prefix make it obvious that it isn't a program flag to be passed along.

The example in the README would then just be:

p = sleep(3, _bg=True)
