In the past few years I worked on pyTermTk, an Open Source TUI Python library, it helps developing interacting Terminal applications with modern aesthetics and controls (mouse/keyboard/drag&drop) that you can run out of the box on a terminal on through an ssh/serial session.

It is cross compatible with Linux, MacOS, MS Windows, HTML5

Holy cow this is insane!!! And super easy to use too...

One feedback on html output: can you avoid the terminal in that and render directly using html/css/js?

Congrats..

Thanks a lot :-)

About the feedback, you mean the xterm.js terminal for the rendering?

considering that everything goes through the same serialization routine, I think I can override it for the web export and write my own rasterizer.

What is the issue using xterm.js?

When I have time I'll definitely play with this.
