We are going to make a program that lets us run something like:

python easyalias.py sl ls

or 

python easyalias.py I_want_my_python_now python

and adds the alias to our .bashrc file, letting us easily add aliases that persist without directly editing the file.

Bash RC aliaser
Usage: easyalias aliasName aliasPath
Outputs: run source ~/.bashrc for commands to take effect

Configuration: If you have a different shell or your bashrc is somewhere other than ~/.bashrc, you'll need to change it.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to use ~/.bash_aliases instead of your bash file directly (changing config will do it).
