For anyone interested here's Satoru Takabayashi's wonderful ttyrecpage: http://www.namazu.org/~satoru/ttyrec/ <description> ttyrec is a tty recorder. Recorded data can be played back with the included ttyplay command. ttyrec is just a derivative of script command for recording timing information with microsecond accuracy as well. It can record emacs -nw, vi, lynx, or any programs running on tty. </description> tty mania presents ttyrec videos. Please set your terminal size to 80x24 and have fun! http://tty.namazu.org/ rpms http://www.ping.de/~michael/RPMS/ ..etc ttyrec is immediately usable for anyone on Linux system, and I think any *nix including MacOSX. Seems to have been based on some Ruby work. I think it would be great to have a native python version of ttyrec/ttyplay built-in to all distros: IDLE, PythonWin, VPython, PyGeo, PythonCard, PyGame.. With or without that, E-Python tutorials, distance learning, training and seminars could take on a new kind of dynamic life.
