libtmux - scripting library for tmux
libtmux is the tool behind tmuxp, a tmux workspace manager in python.
it builds upon tmux’ target and formats to create an object mappings to traverse, inspect and interact with live tmux sesssions.

install
$ [sudo] pip install libtmuxopen a tmux session
session name foo, window name bar
$ tmux new-session -s foo -n barpilot your tmux session via python
$ python
# or for nice autocomplete and syntax highlighting
$ pip install ptpython
$ ptpythonconnect to a live tmux session:
>>> import libtmux
>>> server = libtmux.Server()
>>> server
<libtmux.server.Server object at 0x7fbd622c1dd0>list sessions:
>>> server.list_sessions()
[Session($3 foo), Session($1 libtmux)]find session:
>>> server.get_by_id('$3')
Session($3 foo)find session by dict lookup:
>>> server.find_where({ "session_name": "foo" })
Session($3 foo)assign session to session:
>>> session = server.find_where({ "session_name": "foo" })play with session:
>>> session.new_window(attach=False, window_name="ha in the bg")
Window(@8 2:ha in the bg, Session($3 foo))
>>> session.kill_window("ha in")create new window in the background (don’t switch to it):
>>> w = session.new_window(attach=False, window_name="ha in the bg")
Window(@11 3:ha in the bg, Session($3 foo))kill window object directly:
>>> w.kill_window()grab remaining tmux window:
>>> window = session.attached_window()
>>> window.split_window(attach=False)
Pane(%23 Window(@10 1:bar, Session($3 foo)))rename window:
>>> window.rename_window('libtmuxower')
Window(@10 1:libtmuxower, Session($3 foo))create panes by splitting window:
>>> pane = window.split_window()
>>> pane = window.split_window(attach=False)
>>> pane.select_pane()
>>> window = session.new_window(attach=False, window_name="test")
>>> pane = window.split_window(attach=False)send key strokes to panes:
>>> pane.send_keys('echo hey send now')
>>> pane.send_keys('echo hey', enter=False)
>>> pane.enter()grab the output of pane:
>>> pane.clear() # clear the pane
>>> pane.send_keys('cowsay hello')
>>> print('\n'.join(pane.cmd('capture-pane', '-p').stdout))sh-3.2$ cowsay 'hello'
