# API reference

## pyte

pyte implements a mix of VT100, VT220 and VT520 specification, and aims to support most of the TERM=linux functionality.

Two classes: `Stream`, which parses the command stream and dispatches events for commands, and `Screen` which, when used with a stream maintains a buffer of strings representing the screen of a terminal.

Warning

From `xterm/main.c` “If you think you know what all of this code is doing, you are probably very mistaken. There be serious and nasty dragons here” – nothing has changed.

## pyte.streams

This module provides three stream implementations with different features; for starters, here’s a quick example of how streams are typically used:

    >>> import pyte
    >>>
    >>> class Dummy(object):
    ...     def __init__(self):
    ...         self.y = 0
    ...
    ...     def cursor_up(self, count=None):
    ...         self.y += count or 1
    ...
    >>> dummy = Dummy()
    >>> stream = pyte.Stream()
    >>> stream.attach(dummy)
    >>> stream.feed(u"[5A")  # Move the cursor up 5 rows.
    >>> dummy.y
    5

class `pyte.streams.``Stream`

  A stream is a state machine that parses a stream of characters and dispatches events based on what it sees.

  Note

  Stream only accepts strings as input, but if, for some reason, you need to feed it with bytes, consider using `ByteStream` instead.

  See also

  man console_codes
    For details on console codes listed bellow in `basic`, `escape`, `csi` and `sharp`.
  `basic` = {u'\x07': u'bell', u'\t': u'tab', u'\x08': u'backspace', u'\x0b': u'linefeed', u'\n': u'linefeed', u'\r': u'carriage_return', u'\x0c': u'linefeed', u'\x0f': u'shift_in', u'\x0e': u'shift_out'}

    Control sequences, which don’t require any arguments.

  `escape` = {u'c': u'reset', u'E': u'linefeed', u'D': u'index', u'H': u'set_tab_stop', u'M': u'reverse_index', u'7': u'save_cursor', u'8': u'restore_cursor'}

    non-CSI escape sequences.

  `sharp` = {u'8': u'alignment_display'}

    “sharp” escape sequences – `ESC # <N>`.

  `csi` = {u"'": u'cursor_to_column', u'A': u'cursor_up', u'@': u'insert_characters', u'C': u'cursor_forward', u'B': u'cursor_down', u'E': u'cursor_down1', u'D': u'cursor_back', u'G': u'cursor_to_column', u'F': u'cursor_up1', u'H': u'cursor_position', u'K': u'erase_in_line', u'J': u'erase_in_display', u'M': u'delete_lines', u'L': u'insert_lines', u'P': u'delete_characters', u'X': u'erase_characters', u'a': u'cursor_forward', u'e': u'cursor_down', u'd': u'cursor_to_line', u'g': u'clear_tab_stop', u'f': u'cursor_position', u'h': u'set_mode', u'm': u'select_graphic_rendition', u'l': u'reset_mode', u'r': u'set_margins'}

    CSI escape sequences – `CSI P1;P2;...;Pn <fn>`.

  `reset`()

    Reset state to `"stream"` and empty parameter attributes.

  `consume`(char)

    Consume a single string character and advance the state as necessary.

    Parameters: | char (str) – a character to consume.

  `feed`(chars)

    Consume a string and advance the state as necessary.

    Parameters: | chars (str) – a string to feed from.

  `attach`(screen, only=())

    Adds a given screen to the listeners queue.

    Parameters:

    - screen (pyte.screens.Screen) – a screen to attach to.
    - only (list) – a list of events you want to dispatch to a given screen (empty by default, which means – dispatch all events).

  `detach`(screen)

    Removes a given screen from the listeners queue and failes silently if it’s not attached.

    Parameters: | screen (pyte.screens.Screen) – a screen to detach.

  `dispatch`(event, *args, **kwargs)

    Dispatch an event.

    Event handlers are looked up implicitly in the listeners’ `__dict__`, so, if a listener only wants to handle `DRAW` events it should define a `draw()` method or pass `only=["draw"]` argument to `attach()`.

    Warning

    If any of the attached listeners throws an exception, the subsequent callbacks are be aborted.

    Parameters:

    - event (str) – event to dispatch.
    - args (list) – arguments to pass to event handlers.

class `pyte.streams.``ByteStream`(encodings=None)

  A stream, which takes bytes (instead of strings) as input and tries to decode them using a given list of possible encodings. It uses `codecs.IncrementalDecoder` internally, so broken bytes is not an issue.

  By default, the following decoding strategy is used:

  - First, try strict `"utf-8"`, proceed if recieved and `UnicodeDecodeError` ...
  - Try strict `"cp437"`, failed? move on ...
  - Use `"utf-8"` with invalid bytes replaced – this one will allways succeed.

      >>> stream = ByteStream()
      >>> stream.feed(b"foo".decode("utf-8"))
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
        File "pyte/streams.py", line 323, in feed
          "%s requires input in bytes" % self.__class__.__name__)
      TypeError: ByteStream requires input in bytes
      >>> stream.feed(b"foo")

  Parameters: | encodings (list) – a list of `(encoding, errors)` pairs, where the first element is encoding name, ex: `"utf-8"` and second defines how decoding errors should be handeld; see `str.decode()` for possible values.

class `pyte.streams.``DebugStream`(to=<open file '<stdout>', mode 'w' at 0x7f2817d92150>, only=(), *args, **kwargs)

  Stream, which dumps a subset of the dispatched events to a given file-like object (`sys.stdout` by default).

      >>> stream = DebugStream()
      >>> stream.feed("[1;24r[4l[24;1H[0;10m")
      SET_MARGINS 1; 24
      RESET_MODE 4
      CURSOR_POSITION 24; 1
      SELECT_GRAPHIC_RENDITION 0; 10

  Parameters:

  - to (file) – a file-like object to write debug information to.
  - only (list) – a list of events you want to debug (empty by default, which means – debug all events).

## pyte.screens

This module provides classes for terminal screens, currently it contains three screens with different features:

- `Screen` – base screen implementation, which handles all the core escape sequences, recognized by `Stream`.
- If you need a screen to keep track of the changed lines (which you probably do need) – use `DiffScreen`.
- If you also want a screen to collect history and allow pagination – `pyte.screen.HistoryScreen` is here for ya ;)

Note

It would be nice to split those features into mixin classes, rather than subclasses, but it’s not obvious how to do – feel free to submit a pull request.

class `pyte.screens.``Cursor`(x, y, attrs=_Char(data=u' ', fg=u'default', bg=u'default', bold=False, italics=False, underscore=False, strikethrough=False, reverse=False))

  Screen cursor.

  Parameters:

  - x (int) – horizontal cursor position.
  - y (int) – vertical cursor position.
  - attrs (pyte.screens.Char) – cursor attributes (see `selectel_graphic_rendition()` for details).

class `pyte.screens.``Screen`(columns, lines)

  A screen is an in-memory matrix of characters that represents the screen display of the terminal. It can be instantiated on it’s own and given explicit commands, or it can be attached to a stream and will respond to events.

  `buffer`

    A `lines x columns` `Char` matrix.

  `cursor`

    Reference to the `Cursor` object, holding cursor position and attributes.

  `margins`

    Top and bottom screen margins, defining the scrolling region; the actual values are top and bottom line.

  `charset`

    Current charset number; can be either `0` or `1` for G0 and G1 respectively, note that G0 is activated by default.

  Note

  According to `ECMA-48` standard, lines and columnns are 1-indexed, so, for instance `ESC [ 10;10 f` really means – move cursor to position (9, 9) in the display matrix.

  Changed in version 0.4.7.

  Warning

  `LNM` is reset by default, to match VT220 specification.

  Changed in version 0.4.8.

  Warning

  If DECAWM mode is set than a cursor will be wrapped to the **beginning* of the next line, which is the behaviour described in `man console_codes`.

  See also

  Standard ECMA-48, Section 6.1.1

  > For a description of the presentational component, implemented by `Screen`.

  `default_char` = _Char(data=u' ', fg=u'default', bg=u'default', bold=False, italics=False, underscore=False, strikethrough=False, reverse=False)

    A plain empty character with default foreground and background colors.

  `default_line` = repeat(_Char(data=u' ', fg=u'default', bg=u'default', bold=False, italics=False, underscore=False, strikethrough=False, reverse=False))

    An inifinite sequence of default characters, used for populating new lines and columns.

  `size`

    Returns screen size – `(lines, columns)`

  `display`

    Returns a `list()` of screen lines as unicode strings.

  `reset`()

    Resets the terminal to its initial state.

    - Scroll margins are reset to screen boundaries.
    - Cursor is moved to home location – `(0, 0)` and its attributes are set to defaults (see `default_char`).
    - Screen is cleared – each character is reset to `default_char`.
    - Tabstops are reset to “every eight columns”.

    Note

    Neither VT220 nor VT102 manuals mentioned that terminal modes and tabstops should be reset as well, thanks to xterm – we now know that.

  `resize`(lines=None, columns=None)

    Resize the screen to the given dimensions.

    If the requested screen size has more lines than the existing screen, lines will be added at the bottom. If the requested size has less lines than the existing screen lines will be clipped at the top of the screen. Similarly, if the existing screen has less columns than the requested screen, columns will be added at the right, and if it has more – columns will be clipped at the right.

    Note

    According to xterm, we should also reset origin mode and screen margins, see `xterm/screen.c:1761`.

    Parameters:

    - lines (int) – number of lines in the new screen.
    - columns (int) – number of columns in the new screen.

  `set_margins`(top=None, bottom=None)

    Selects top and bottom margins for the scrolling region.

    Margins determine which screen lines move during scrolling (see `index()` and `reverse_index()`). Characters added outside the scrolling region do not cause the screen to scroll.

    Parameters:

    - top (int) – the smallest line number that is scrolled.
    - bottom (int) – the biggest line number that is scrolled.

  `set_charset`(code, mode)

    Set active `G0` or `G1` charset.

    Parameters:

    - code (str) – character set code, should be a character from `"B0UK"` – otherwise ignored.
    - mode (str) – if `"("` `G0` charset is set, if `")"` – we operate on `G1`.

    Warning

    User-defined charsets are currently not supported.

  `set_mode`(*modes, **kwargs)

    Sets (enables) a given list of modes.

    Parameters: | modes (list) – modes to set, where each mode is a constant from `pyte.modes`.

  `reset_mode`(*modes, **kwargs)

    Resets (disables) a given list of modes.

    Parameters: | modes (list) – modes to reset – hopefully, each mode is a constant from `pyte.modes`.

  `shift_in`()

    Activates `G0` character set.

  `shift_out`()

    Activates `G1` character set.

  `draw`(char)

    Display a character at the current cursor position and advance the cursor if `DECAWM` is set.

    Parameters: | char (str) – a character to display.

  `carriage_return`()

    Move the cursor to the beginning of the current line.

  `index`()

    Move the cursor down one line in the same column. If the cursor is at the last line, create a new line at the bottom.

  `reverse_index`()

    Move the cursor up one line in the same column. If the cursor is at the first line, create a new line at the top.

  `linefeed`()

    Performs an index and, if `LNM` is set, a carriage return.

  `tab`()

    Move to the next tab space, or the end of the screen if there aren’t anymore left.

  `backspace`()

    Move cursor to the left one or keep it in it’s position if it’s at the beginning of the line already.

  `save_cursor`()

    Push the current cursor position onto the stack.

  `restore_cursor`()

    Set the current cursor position to whatever cursor is on top of the stack.

  `insert_lines`(count=None)

    Inserts the indicated # of lines at line with cursor. Lines displayed at and below the cursor move down. Lines moved past the bottom margin are lost.

    Parameters: | count – number of lines to delete.

  `delete_lines`(count=None)

    Deletes the indicated # of lines, starting at line with cursor. As lines are deleted, lines displayed below cursor move up. Lines added to bottom of screen have spaces with same character attributes as last line moved up.

    Parameters: | count (int) – number of lines to delete.

  `insert_characters`(count=None)

    Inserts the indicated # of blank characters at the cursor position. The cursor does not move and remains at the beginning of the inserted blank characters. Data on the line is shifted forward.

    Parameters: | count (int) – number of characters to insert.

  `delete_characters`(count=None)

    Deletes the indicated # of characters, starting with the character at cursor position. When a character is deleted, all characters to the right of cursor move left. Character attributes move with the characters.

    Parameters: | count (int) – number of characters to delete.

  `erase_characters`(count=None)

    Erases the indicated # of characters, starting with the character at cursor position. Character attributes are set cursor attributes. The cursor remains in the same position.

    Parameters: | count (int) – number of characters to erase.

    Warning

    Even though ALL of the VTXXX manuals state that character attributes should be reset to defaults, `libvte`, `xterm` and `ROTE` completely ignore this. Same applies too all `erase_*()` and `delete_*()` methods.

  `erase_in_line`(type_of=0, private=False)

    Erases a line in a specific way.

    Parameters:

    - type_of (int) –

      defines the way the line should be erased in:

      - `0` – Erases from cursor to end of line, including cursor position.
      - `1` – Erases from beginning of line to cursor, including cursor position.
      - `2` – Erases complete line.
    - private (bool) – when `True` character attributes aren left unchanged not implemented.

  `erase_in_display`(type_of=0, private=False)

    Erases display in a specific way.

    Parameters:

    - type_of (int) –

      defines the way the line should be erased in:

      - `1` – Erases from beginning of screen to cursor, including cursor position.
      - `2` – Erases complete display. All lines are erased and changed to single-width. Cursor does not move.
    - private (bool) – when `True` character attributes aren left unchanged not implemented.

  `set_tab_stop`()

    Sest a horizontal tab stop at cursor position.

  `clear_tab_stop`(type_of=None)

    - `0` or nothing – Clears a horizontal tab stop at cursor position.
    - `3` – Clears all horizontal tab stops.
  `ensure_bounds`(use_margins=None)

    Ensure that current cursor position is within screen bounds.

    Parameters: | use_margins (bool) – when `True` or when `DECOM` is set, cursor is bounded by top and and bottom margins, instead of `[0; lines - 1]`.

  `cursor_up`(count=None)

    Moves cursor up the indicated # of lines in same column. Cursor stops at top margin.

    Parameters: | count (int) – number of lines to skip.

    Parameters: | count (int) – number of columns to skip.

  `cursor_position`(line=None, column=None)

    Set the cursor to a specific line and column.

    Cursor is allowed to move out of the scrolling region only when `DECOM` is reset, otherwise – the position doesn’t change.

  `select_graphic_rendition`(*attrs)

    Set display attributes.

    Parameters: | attrs (list) – a list of display attributes to set.

class `pyte.screens.``DiffScreen`(*args)

  A screen subclass, which maintains a set of dirty lines in its `dirty` attribute. The end user is responsible for emptying a set, when a diff is applied.

  `dirty`

    A set of line numbers, which should be re-drawn.

        >>> screen = DiffScreen(80, 24)
        >>> screen.dirty.clear()
        >>> screen.draw(u"!")
        >>> screen.dirty
        set([0])

class `pyte.screens.``HistoryScreen`(columns, lines, history=100, ratio=0.5)

  A screen subclass, which keeps track of screen history and allows pagination. This is not linux-specific, but still useful; see page 462 of VT520 User’s Manual.

  Parameters:

  - history (int) – total number of history lines to keep; is split between top and bottom queues.
  - ratio (int) – defines how much lines to scroll on `next_page()` and `prev_page()` calls.

  `history`

    A pair of history queues for top and bottom margins accordingly; here’s the overall screen structure:

        [ 1: .......]
        [ 2: .......]  <- top history
        [ 3: .......]
        ------------
        [ 4: .......]  s
        [ 5: .......]  c
        [ 6: .......]  r
        [ 7: .......]  e
        [ 8: .......]  e
        [ 9: .......]  n
        ------------
        [10: .......]
        [11: .......]  <- bottom history
        [12: .......]

  Note

  Don’t forget to update `Stream` class with appropriate escape sequences – you can use any, since pagination protocol is not standardized, for example:

      Stream.escape["N"] = "next_page"
      Stream.escape["P"] = "prev_page"

  `reset`()

    Overloaded to reset screen history state: history position is reset to bottom of both queues; queues themselves are emptied.

  `index`()

    Overloaded to update top history with the removed lines.

  `reverse_index`()

    Overloaded to update bottom history with the removed lines.

  `prev_page`()

    Moves the screen page up through the history buffer. Page size is defined by `history.ratio`, so for instance `ratio = .5` means that half the screen is restored from history on page switch.

  `next_page`()

    Moves the screen page down through the history buffer.

## pyte.modes

This module defines terminal mode switches, used by `Screen`. There’re two types of terminal modes:

- non-private which should be set with `ESC [ N h`, where `N` is an integer, representing mode being set; and
- private which should be set with `ESC [ ? N h`.

The latter are shifted 5 times to the right, to be easily distinguishable from the former ones; for example Origin Mode – `DECOM` is `192` not `6`.

    >>> DECOM
    192

copyright:

3. 2011-2013 by Selectel, see AUTHORS for details.

license: | LGPL, see LICENSE for more details.

`pyte.modes.``LNM` = 20

  Line Feed/New Line Mode: When enabled, causes a received `LF`, `pyte.control.FF`, or `VT` to move the cursor to the first column of the next line.

`pyte.modes.``IRM` = 4

  Insert/Replace Mode: When enabled, new display characters move old display characters to the right. Characters moved past the right margin are lost. Otherwise, new display characters replace old display characters at the cursor position.

`pyte.modes.``DECTCEM` = 800

  Text Cursor Enable Mode: determines if the text cursor is visible.

`pyte.modes.``DECSCNM` = 160

  Screen Mode: toggles screen-wide reverse-video mode.

`pyte.modes.``DECOM` = 192

  Origin Mode: allows cursor addressing relative to a user-defined origin. This mode resets when the terminal is powered up or reset. It does not affect the erase in display (ED) function.

`pyte.modes.``DECAWM` = 224

  Auto Wrap Mode: selects where received graphic characters appear when the cursor is at the right margin.

`pyte.modes.``DECCOLM` = 96

  Column Mode: selects the number of columns per line (80 or 132) on the screen.

## pyte.control

This module defines simple control sequences, recognized by `Stream`, the set of codes here is for `TERM=linux` which is a superset of VT102.

`pyte.escape.``DL` = u'M'

  Delete line: Delete the indicated # of lines, starting from the current line. As lines are deleted, lines displayed below cursor move up. Lines added to bottom of screen have spaces with same character attributes as last line move up.

`pyte.escape.``DCH` = u'P'

  Delete character: Delete the indicated # of characters on the current line. When character is deleted, all characters to the right of cursor move left.

  Tabulation clear: Clears a horizontal tab stop at cursor position.

`pyte.escape.``SM` = u'h'

  Set mode.

`pyte.escape.``RM` = u'l'

  Reset mode.

`pyte.escape.``SGR` = u'm'

  Select graphics rendition: The terminal can display the following character attributes that change the character display without changing the character (see `pyte.graphics`).

`pyte.escape.``DECSTBM` = u'r'

  Select top and bottom margins: Selects margins, defining the scrolling region; parameters are top and bottom line. If called without any arguments, whole screen is used.

`pyte.escape.``HPA` = u"'"

license: | LGPL, see LICENSE for more details.

`pyte.graphics.``TEXT` = {27: '-reverse', 1: '+bold', 3: '+italics', 4: '+underscore', 22: '-bold', 7: '+reverse', 24: '-underscore', 9: '+strikethrough', 23: '-italics', 29: '-strikethrough'}

  A mapping of ANSI text style codes to style names, “+” means the: attribute is set, “-” – reset; example:

      >>> text[1]
      '+bold'
      >>> text[9]
      '+strikethrough'

`pyte.graphics.``FG` = {32: 'green', 33: 'brown', 34: 'blue', 35: 'magenta', 36: 'cyan', 37: 'white', 39: 'default', 30: 'black', 31: 'red'}

  A mapping of ANSI foreground color codes to color names, example:

      >>> FG[30]
      'black'
      >>> FG[38]
      'default'

`pyte.graphics.``BG` = {49: 'default', 40: 'black', 41: 'red', 42: 'green', 43: 'brown', 44: 'blue', 45: 'magenta', 46: 'cyan', 47: 'white'}

  A mapping of ANSI background color codes to color names, example:

      >>> BG[40]
      'black'
      >>> BG[48]
      'default'
