原文: python embedding virtual terminal gtk widget python vte library

python-vte bindings allow you to embed a simplistic virtual terminal in any of your GTK apps real easy. This tutorial will show how you can add a terminal to a widget in less than 30 lines, 4 lines only being necessary to set a the terminal session.

Python-vte 绑定允许你在任意一个GTK 程序中十分容易地嵌入一个简单的虚拟终端。本指南将向您展示如何使用少于30 行代码在一个构件上添加一个终端，其中有4 行代码是设置终端会话所必须的。

A simple Terminal with python-vte

一个简单的python-vte 终端

With python-vte bindings, all that is necessary to have a working terminal is to:

使用python-vte 绑定，生成一个运行的终端必须具备以下条件：

instanciate the vte terminal object

vte 终端对象的一个实例；

tell it what to do when the terminal session is killed via connect child-exited signal

当终端会话结束时，通过使用child-exited 信号连接实例，告诉它怎么做；

and finaly fork a child process which will default to the default user shell

最后fork 一个设置默认用户shell 的子进程。

Here is the bit of code required to add a virtual terminal to a GTK window:

#!/usr/bin/env python

try :
	import  gtk
except :
	print >> sys.stderr, "You need to install the python gtk bindings"
	sys.exit(1)

# import vte
try :
	import vte
except :
	error = gtk.MessageDialog(None, gtk.DIALOG_MODAL, gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR, gtk.BUTTONS_OK, 'You need to install python bindings for libvte')
	error.run()
	sys.exit(1)

if  __name__ == '__main__' :
	v = vte.Terminal()
	v.connect("child-exited", lambda term: gtk.main_quit())
	v.fork_command()
	window = gtk.Window()
	window.add(v)
	window.connect('delete-event', lambda window, event: gtk.main_quit())
	window.show_all()
	gtk.main()

That’s it, download the script attached to this tutorial, make it executable and run it. You will have a functioning terminal!

至此，下载本指南附件中的脚本，赋于可执行权限，然后运行。您将获得一个运行的终端！
