I use it to inject commands in servers console (I suppose CS and other game
servers have this kind of behaviours)
It's a way to keep control and automate command insertion into instances...
still not really great for personnal customisation of screen as it inserts
only in current window...
I'm affraid enable multi window support into screen will need me work
against concurrency errors
Jostein, here a small example of current usage:
>>> from screenutils import list_screens, Screen
>>> list_screens() # wrap screen -ls
[]
>>> s= Screen("session1",True) # create new screen session
>>> # screen blink once
>>> s.send_commands('bash') # inject text en validate into session
>>> s.enable_logs()
>>> s.send_commands("df")
>>> print next(s.logs)
df
