termqt is a 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 usual applications.

It is worth noting that is project is still work-in-progress and more necessary features shall be added in coming weeks.

• python 3.5+ (to get PyQt5 running),
• PyQt5.

That's it.

termqt is divided into a Terminal widget that can be embedded in any Qt program, and a TerminalIO that is used to underlying process like bash or ipython. One has to connect all callbacks inside Terminal and TerminalIO in order to get it running. One may also build his own IO backend instead of TerminalIO.

An example of getting things working is the start.py. It creates a Terminal and a TerminalIO instance and connects them together.
