This is a `Tornado <http://tornadoweb.org/>`_ websocket backend for the
`Xterm.js <https://xtermjs.org/>`_ Javascript terminal emulator
library.

It evolved out of `pyxterm <https://github.com/mitotic/pyxterm>`_, which was
part of `GraphTerm <https://github.com/mitotic/graphterm>`_ (as lineterm.py),
v0.57.0 (2014-07-18), and ultimately derived from the public-domain `Ajaxterm
<http://antony.lesuisse.org/software/ajaxterm/>`_ code, v0.11 (2008-11-13) (also
on Github as part of `QWeb <https://github.com/antonylesuisse/qweb>`_).

Modules:

* ``terminado.management``: controls launching virtual terminals,
  connecting them to Tornado's event loop, and closing them down.
* ``terminado.websocket``: Provides a websocket handler for communicating with
  a terminal.
* ``terminado.uimodule``: Provides a ``Terminal`` Tornado `UI Module
  <http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/guide/templates.html#ui-modules>`_.

JS:

* ``terminado/_static/terminado.js``: A lightweight wrapper to set up a
  term.js terminal with a websocket.

Local Installation:

    $ pip install -e .[test]


Usage example:

.. code:: python

    import os.path
    import tornado.web
    import tornado.ioloop
    # This demo requires tornado_xstatic and XStatic-term.js
    import tornado_xstatic

    import terminado
    STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(terminado.__file__), "_static")

    class TerminalPageHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
        def get(self):
            return self.render("termpage.html", static=self.static_url,
                               xstatic=self.application.settings['xstatic_url'],
                               ws_url_path="/websocket")

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        term_manager = terminado.SingleTermManager(shell_command=['bash'])
        handlers = [
                    (r"/websocket", terminado.TermSocket,
                         {'term_manager': term_manager}),
                    (r"/", TerminalPageHandler),
                    (r"/xstatic/(.*)", tornado_xstatic.XStaticFileHandler,
                         {'allowed_modules': ['termjs']})
                   ]
        app = tornado.web.Application(handlers, static_path=STATIC_DIR,
                          xstatic_url = tornado_xstatic.url_maker('/xstatic/'))
        # Serve at http://localhost:8765/ N.B. Leaving out 'localhost' here will
        # work, but it will listen on the public network interface as well.
        # Given what terminado does, that would be rather a security hole.
        app.listen(8765, 'localhost')
        try:
            tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
        finally:
            term_manager.shutdown()
