Pymux is a terminal multiplexer written entirely in Python, similar to tmux and GNU Screen, allowing multiple applications to run in panes within a single terminal. It emulates a vt100 terminal per pane and offers tmux-compatible shortcuts and commands with some enhancements like fish-style command suggestions and true color support.
Use cases
- run multiple terminal applications in one window
- split my terminal into panes like tmux
- keep terminal sessions running after disconnecting
- find a tmux alternative written in Python
- manage multiple shell sessions with keyboard shortcuts
When to avoid
- you need maximum performance for output-heavy applications, where tmux's C implementation is faster
- you need full tmux feature compatibility or a actively maintained project
- you need Windows support
