Might be able to make some cool neovim (or another text based editor) python plugins with this.

  Perhaps like how the Kakoune text editor[0] (discussed a few days ago on HN [1]) uses tmux to manage panes (although that's C++ and just uses the Tmux client[2]).

Just wondering what the use cases are for this? I can't imagine how I would make use of this.

  It looks like it's been used to create tmuxp[0], a tmux session loader à la Teamocil[1]. [0]: https://tmuxp.git-pull.com/en/latest/ https://tmuxp.git-pull.com/en/latest/ [1]: http://www.teamocil.com http://www.teamocil.com

  We're probably going to use it in our robotic software launcher which we are using instead of roslaunch [0]. Since the scripts are Python, it will be convenient to launch all processes in different windows within same session. [0] http://wiki.ros.org/roslaunch http://wiki.ros.org/roslaunch

  Tmux configuration GUI

  This was exactly what i was looking for. With this, i have something like a console, to control the panes, windows My biggest usecase right now is when i get dropped to a pdb shell, right now i call os.system("tmux split-window ..." ) with specific commands to either open up the source code of the last frame, or to open up a log file dump . Using libtmux would be easier and cleaner.
