Terminal

The terminal embedded in Pyto is hterm, the terminal from Chrome OS. It runs a shell that provides access to many UNIX commands from ios_system, which is used in many iOS / iPadOS apps.

These commands are embedded in the app and are executed in the same process and can be executed with os.system() and subprocess.Popen.

Commands

Type help in the shell to see a list of available commands.

Scripts installed from PyPI or packages embedded in-app will also be recognized by the shell. These scripts are installed in ~/Documents/bin for user installed scripts and Pyto.app/site-packages/bin for bundled packages. If you want to run a module that has no entrypoint specified in setup.py or setup.cfg, you can always run the python interpreter: $ python -m my_module.

Use xargs to pass the output of a command as an argument:
