ls | py -x '"mv %s %s.txt" % (x,x)' | sh has me worried, I can't find the escape code directly. Also you might wish to offer the following api ls | py -X '["mv","%s","%s.txt"] and run those using processes or sub-process. This would ensure the right argument in the right place. Just an idea.

You should put up a donation link. If more people do that and it becomes common practice to donate to useful open source tools / projects then imagine what more awesome stuff could be created. Many people desire to build tools but don't have the financial support to do so.

Of course for this case, using shutil (or something similar) would be preferable. Eg ls | py -x "shutil.move(x, "%s.txt" % x)"
