termqt is the python implementation of a terminal emulator, based on Qt. It is designed to be embedded as a widget in other programs. It implements a subset of the functions described in VT100 User Guide and XTerm Control Sequence. While can't be considered as a fully functional terminal emulator like those most used by people, it can run IPython and perhaps more complicated applications.
- Python 3.5+ (to get PyQt5 running),
- PyQt5 /PyQt6 / PySide2 / PySide6.
pip install termqttermqt is divided into a Terminal widget that can be embedded in any Qt
program, and a TerminalIO that is used to communicate with child processes
like bash or ipython. One has to connect all callbacks inside Terminal
and TerminalIO in order to get them running. One may also build his own
TerminalIO backend instead of using the existing ones.
A quick minimalistic example can be found in start.py. It creates a
Terminal and a TerminalExecIO that runs bash under Linux (and other
POSIX-compatible environments) or cmd under Windows.
