What is pyte?

It's an in memory VTXXX-compatible terminal emulator.<br>XXX stands for a series of video terminals, developed by<br>DEC between<br>1970 and 1995. The first, and probably the most famous one, was VT100<br>terminal, which is now a de-facto standard for all virtual terminal<br>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<br>(xterm,<br>rxvt) or a web interface, like<br>AjaxTerm.

To have fun, hacking on the ancient, poorly documented technologies.

Note : pyte started as a fork of vt102,<br>which is an incomplete pure Python implementation of VT100 terminal.

Installation

If you have pip you can do the usual:

pip install pyte

Otherwise, download the source from GitHub<br>and run:

python setup.py install
