Execute Shell Commands Safely from Python

I've released a new utility called "Run Any Command Safely." This is a Python snippet designed to provide a structured way to execute shell commands within your Python applications. The goal is to ensure commands run predictably and that you receive clear output and error information.

When integrating shell commands into Python scripts, managing their execution, capturing stdout/stderr, and handling non-zero exit codes can become repetitive. This snippet abstracts some of that complexity, offering a function that encapsulates the subprocess calls. It returns a dictionary containing the command's exit code, standard output, and standard error streams.

This is intended for developers who frequently need to interact with the underlying operating system via shell commands from their Python code. It helps in scenarios where you might be automating system tasks, running external tools, or interacting with build processes, and you need reliable feedback on the command's success or failure.

The snippet aims to be straightforward to integrate and use, reducing the boilerplate often associated with robust shell command execution in Python.
