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 pip install pyte. Otherwise, download the source from GitHub and run python setup.py install.
