        About
        -----
        
        What is ``pyte``? It's an in memory VTXXX-compatible terminal emulator.
        *XXX* stands for a series video terminals, developed by
        `DEC <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation>`_ between
        1970 and 1995. The first, and probably the most famous one, was VT100
        terminal, which is now a de-facto standard for all virtual terminal
        emulators. ``pyte`` follows the suit.
        
        So, why would one need a terminal emulator library?
        
        * To screen scrape terminal apps, for example ``htop`` or ``aptitude``.
        * To write cross platform terminal emulators; either with a graphical
          (`xterm <http://invisible-island.net/xterm/>`_,
          `rxvt <http://www.rxvt.org/>`_) or a web interface, like
          `AjaxTerm <http://antony.lesuisse.org/software/ajaxterm/>`_.
        * To have fun, hacking on the ancient, poorly documented technologies.
        
        **Note**: ``pyte`` started as a fork of `vt102 <http://github.com/samfoo/vt102`_,
        which is an incomplete implementation of VT100 features.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        If you have `setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_
        you can use ``easy_install -U pyte``. Otherwise, you can download the source
        from `GitHub <http://github.com/selectel/pyte>`_ and run ``python setup.py install``.
        
        
        Example
        -------
        
            >>> import pyte
            >>> screen = pyte.Screen(80, 24)
            >>> stream = pyte.Stream()
            >>> stream.attach(screen)
            >>> stream.feed(u"\u001b7\u001b[?47h\u001b)0\u001b[H\u001b[2J\u001b[H"
