libtmux is the tool behind tmuxp, a tmux workspace manager in python.
it builds upon tmux’ target and formats to create an object mappings to traverse, inspect and interact with live tmux sesssions.

install
$ [sudo] pip install libtmuxopen a tmux session
session name foo, window name bar
$ tmux new-session -s foo -n barpilot your tmux session via python
$ python# or for nice autocomplete and syntax highlighting
$ pip install ptpython
$ ptpythonconnect to a live tmux session:
>>> importlibtmux>>> server=libtmux.Server()>>> server<libtmux.server.Server object at 0x7fbd622c1dd0>list sessions:
>>> server.list_sessions()[Session($3 foo), Session($1 libtmux)]find session:
>>> server.get_by_id('$3')Session($3 foo)find session by dict lookup:
>>> server.find_where({"session_name":"foo"})Session($3 foo)assign session to session:
>>> session=server.find_where({"session_name":"foo"})play with session:
>>> session.new_window(attach=False,window_name="ha in the bg")Window(@8 2:ha in the bg, Session($3 foo))>>> session.kill_window("ha in")create new window in the background (don’t switch to it):
>>> w=session.new_window(attach=False,window_name="ha in the bg")Window(@11 3:ha in the bg, Session($3 foo))kill window object directly:
grab remaining tmux window:
>>> window=session.attached_window()>>> window.split_window(attach=False)Pane(%23 Window(@10 1:bar, Session($3 foo)))rename window:
>>> window.rename_window('libtmuxower')Window(@10 1:libtmuxower, Session($3 foo))create panes by splitting window:
>>> pane=window.split_window()>>> pane=window.split_window(attach=False)>>> pane.select_pane()>>> window=session.new_window(attach=False,window_name="test")>>> pane=window.split_window(attach=False)send key strokes to panes:
>>> pane.send_keys('echo hey send now')>>> pane.send_keys('echo hey',enter=False)>>> pane.enter()grab the output of pane:
>>> pane.clear()# clear the pane>>> pane.send_keys('cowsay hello')>>> print('\n'.join(pane.cmd('capture-pane','-p').stdout))sh-3.2$ cowsay 'hello'
