What is pyte?
It’s an in memory VTXXX-compatible terminal emulator.
XXX stands for a series of video terminals, developed by
DEC between
1970 and 1995. The first, and probably the most famous one, was VT100
terminal, which is now a de-facto standard for all virtual terminal
emulators. pyte follows the suit.
So, why would one need a terminal emulator library?
To screen scrape terminal apps, for example htop or aptitude.
To write cross platform terminal emulators; either with a graphical
(xterm,
rxvt) or a web interface, like
AjaxTerm.
To have fun, hacking on the ancient, poorly documented technologies.
Note: pyte started as a fork of vt102,
which is an incomplete pure Python implementation of VT100 terminal.
Installation
If you have pip you can do the usual:
